Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-Bromo-1H-indole-4-carbonitrile (I-146a: 500 mg, 2.272 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred mixture of NaH (0.218 g, 9.0833 mmol) in dry DMF (15 mL) at 0° C. over a period of 10 minutes. This was followed by the addition of methyl iodide and the resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC (10% ethylacetate in hexane). The reaction mixture was quenched with ice water; the precipitate formed was collected and dried to afford 0.400 g of the crude product.
