Procedure

Condensation of the indole carboxylic acid with cyclopentanone in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide gave the 3-cyclopenteneyl indole carboxylic acid, which was subjected to hydrogenation in the presence of catalytic amount of palladium on carbon to afford the corresponding cyclopentyl carboxylic acid in 80% overall yield. Double methylation of the carboxylic acid and the nitrogen with methyl carbonate in NMP at 130° C. provided the N-methyl indole carboxylate methyl ester in 90% yield. Bromination of the indole carboxylate with bromine in acetonitrile furnished the 2-bromo-3-cyclopentyl indole carboxylate in 90% yield.
