Procedure

To a solution of 1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid (5 g, 31.0 mmol) in 70% methanol/methylene chloride (105 mL) at 0° C. was added 1M trimethylsilyldiazomethane in hexanes (46 mL, 46 mmol). After 45 min., the reaction mixture was concentrated to afford 1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (5.2 g).
