To a solution of 7-ethyltryptophol (12.0 g) in a mixture of methanolic hydrogen chloride (10% w/v, 50.0 ml) and toluene (50 ml), methyl 3-oxopentanoate (9.1 g, 0.07 mole) was added in one lot, at 25° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 25-30° c for 7 hours. The reaction mixture concentrated to about 20 ml under reduced pressure. Methanol (50 ml) was added to the concentrate and the solution was extracted with hexane (100 ml). Hexane was concentrated to about 20 ml and methanol (10 ml) was added. The product was filtered, washed with methanol and dried to afford the title compound (15.8 g, 84%), m.p. 128-130° C., purity: 97.8%.
