Yield:43142-81-0 100%

Reaction Conditions:

Stage #1: ethyl 6-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxylatewith sodium hydride in N,N-dimethyl-formamide at 20; for 1 h;Inert atmosphere;
Stage #2: methyl iodide in N,N-dimethyl-formamide at 20; for 4 h;Inert atmosphere;

Steps:

Ethyl 6-chloro-1-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (4)

To a suspension of sodium hydride (0.73 g, 29 mmol) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide(58 mL) was added 3 (6.1 g, 27.4 mmol) at room temperature and the reaction mixture was stirred under argon for 1 h before addition of methyl iodide (1.82 mL, 29 mmol).The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h and evaporated to give a residue which was redistributed in dichloromethane(200 mL) and water (300 mL). The organic layer was separated and washed twice with water (2 200 mL) before beingdried (Na2SO4). Evaporation followed by crystallization in ethanol gave 4 as beige crystals (6.5 g, quantitative). Rf (heptane/ethyl acetate,7/3): 0.52.
