Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(cyclopentyloxycarbonyl)amino-1-methylindole (AA) (1.3 g.) and methyl 4-bromomethyl-3-methoxybenzoate (B) (1.3 g.) in N,N-dimethylformamide (25 ml.) was stirred and heated at 100° C., under a nitrogen atmosphere, while protecting the reaction vessel from light with aluminum foil, for 24 hours. The cooled mixture was poured onto saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (300 ml.), extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 ml.), the combined extracts washed with brine (50 ml.), dried (MgSO4), and evaporated. The product was isolated by flash chromatography on silica gel (3.5 cm. diameter column) to give the title compound (P) (0.98 g., 45%), identical with that obtained in Example 8.
