Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g of benzyl indole-2-carboxlate in solution in 20 ml of dimethylformamide are introduced slowly into 30 ml of a suspension of 1 g of NaOH in 30 ml of dimethylformamide and 3.1 g of methyl bromoacetate are then introduced. After 12 hours at ambient temperature, with stirring, the mixture is poured into a volume of ice-water and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The dried organic phase is concentrated and the residue is recrystallised from aqueous ethanol (95%, V/V). m.p.=94° C.; yield 87%.
