Procedure

To a stirred solution of ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-7-oxo-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine-3-carboxylate (1.5 g, 6.4 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) was added (1-bromoethyl)-benzene (1.5 g, 7.9 mmol) and cesium carbonate (3.14 g, 9.6 mmol). The resultant solution was stirred at 80° C. for 12 hours. Once starting material was consumed, the reaction mixture was quenched with water (50 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL×3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (100 mL*2), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give a residue. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate=5:1) to give ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-7-oxo-1-(1-phenylethyl)-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine-3-carboxylate (1.5 g, 69%) as a yellow solid. LRMS (M+H+) m/z: calcd 338.16. found 338.
