A solution of ethyl [2-(toluene-4-sulfonyloxy)ethoxy]acetate (3.90 g, 12.9 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) was added dropwise to a mixture of ethyl 4-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (2.50 g, 12.3 mmol), 60% sodium hydride (0.50 g, 12.5 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (45 ml) at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature 7 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into a 10% aqueous sodium chloride solution and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract solution was washed with a 5% aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (eluent:ethyl acetate:n-hexane= 2:98) to obtain 1.86 g of ethyl 1-[(2-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy)ethyl]-4-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate as a colorless oil.
