To a solution of 5 g (19 mmol) of 5-bromoindol-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester in 20 mL of anhydrous DMF was added portionwise 1.06 g (24 mmol) of NaH (55% in oil). The mixture was stirred at RT for 45 minutes, treated dropwise with 2.9 mL (24 mmol) of benzyl bromide and stirred for three hours. After addition of a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl and Et2O, the phases were separated and the aqueous one was extracted with Et2O. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to yield 6.7 g (98%) of crude 5-bromo-1-benzylindole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, orange oil, MS: 358 (MH+).
