Step 1: Preparation of methyl 2-bromo-5-methylbenzoate To a solution of <strong>[6967-82-4]2-bromo-5-methylbenzoic acid</strong> (215 mg, 1.0 mmol) in DCM (4 mL) and DMF (1 drop) at 0 C. was slowly added oxalyl chloride (0.13 mL, 1.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h and to it was added additional oxalyl chloride (0.13 mL, 1.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h, added with MeOH (2 mL) and stirred for 6 h. The mixture was treated with Na2CO3 to pH of 9 and extracted with DCM (2*10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel eluted with PE-EA (15:1) to give methyl 2-bromo-5-methylbenzoate (210 mg; yield 92%) as colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): delta 7.60 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.15 (q, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 3.92 (s, 3H), 2.33 (s, 3H) ppm. |

Dimethyl sulfate (2.2 mL, 21.1 mmol)was slowly dropped under stirring into a solution of <strong>[6967-82-4]2-bromo-5-methylbenzoic acid</strong> (3.78 g,17.6 mmol) in 22mLmethanolic NaOH. Themixturewas refluxed for 30min.After cooling,waterwas added and the solutionwas 3×extracted with diethyl ether. The combined extractswere washed twice with 5% aq NaHCO3 solution then with satd. NaCl solution and finallywith H2O. After drying over Na2SO4, the solvent was removed and the residue was purifiedby CC (Kieselgel, CH2Cl2). Yield: 2.4 g (10.5 mmol, 60%) light-yellow liquid.

The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and ethyl acetate were then added thereto. The organic layer was separated and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give methyl 2-bromo-5-methylbenzoate. (1252) To the obtained methyl 2-bromo-5-methylbenzoate, 110 mg of 1-benzyl-1H-indol-5-amine, 10 mg of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0), 18 mg of 4,5'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9'-dimethylxanthene, 342 mg of cesium carbonate and 4 mL of toluene were added, and the resultant was stirred at 190C for one hour and 30 minutes using microwave equipment. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, the insoluble matter was filtered off and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (gradient elution with hexane:ethyl acetate = 100:0-75:25) to give methyl 2-((1-benzyl-1H-indol-5-yl)amino)-5-methylbenzoate as a yellow oil.
