Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (0.5 g, 2.6 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was added cesium carbonate (1.7 g, 5.2 mmol) and 5-(bromomethyl)pyrimidine (0.3 g, 1.7 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 1 hour and then concentrated to give a residue. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate/petroleum ether=1:20) to give methyl 2-methyl-1-(pyrimidin-5-ylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (110 mg, 14%)
