Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-hexyl-1-methyl-1H-indole in methylene chloride at 0° C. was added dimethyl aluminum chloride solution in hexane. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. To this solution 4-chlorocarbonyl-butyric acid methyl ester was added at 0 ° C. and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours. The reaction was treated with saturated ammonium chloride and ethyl acetate. The product was purified by column chromatography.
