Reaktionsschritte

To a suspension of 4-bromophenylhydrazine hydrochloride (10.00 g, 42.95 mmol) in anhydrous ethanol (200 mL) is added 3-propionylpyridine (7.51 g, 42.95 mmol) and the mixture is stirred at reflux for 30 min. 4M HCl in 1,4-dioxane (42.9 mL) is added to the yellow solution and stirring is continued at reflux overnight. The reaction mixture is cooled with an ice-water bath and the yellow precipitate is filtered through a sintered funnel to give 5-bromo-3-methyl-2-pyridin-3-yl-1H-indole hydrochloride as a yellow solid. The product is dissolved in methanol (100 mL) and treated with sodium methoxide to give the free base, which is used in the next step without further purification.
