A solution of ethyl 6-bromoindole-2-carboxylate (4.4 g, 16.4 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was added dropwise over ˜2–3 min to a stirred suspension of sodium hydride (60%, 1.0 g, 25 mmol) in DM (20 mL) at 0° C. under Ar. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 45 min then chloroacetonitrile (2.1 mL, 33 mmol) was added in one portion. The reaction was then heated to 75° C. and stirred for 1 h. After allowing to cool to room temp the mixture was poured into water (150 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×75 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (75 mL), dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and the solvent removed under vacuum to leave a crude solid which was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2; ethyl acetate) to give the product as a yellow solid (4.8 g, 95%).
