Procedure

Sodium hydride (60% in oil, 228 mg, 5.7 mmol) was gradually added to a N,N-dimethylformamide (0.5 ml) solution of 5-nitroindole (0.841 g, 5.19 mmol) while stirring at room temperature; phenyl N-methylcarbamate (1.02 g, 6.74 mmol) was added thereto; and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water; and the organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. This was concentrated under reduced pressure; and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate, sequentially ethyl acetate) to yield the title compound (600 mg).
