Procedure: 1,8-Dimethyl-naphthalene (1.30 g, 8.32 mmol) was dissolved in dry carbon tetrachloride (80 mL). To the reaction mixture was added N-bromosuccinimide (1.39 g, 7.82 mmol), dibenzoyl peroxide (6 mg, catalyst) and the reaction mixture was refluxing for 6 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, a precipitate formed on cooling and the precipitate was separated by filtration. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to yield the title compound as a solid which was used in further steps without additional purification. the reaction mixture was refluxing for 6 hours under nitrogen atmosphere a precipitate formed on cooling the precipitate was separated by filtration The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Using general procedure A (Exp. 1.3.), 1,8-dimethyl-naphthalene was reacted with N-bromosuccinimide to give 1-bromomethyl-8-methyl-naphthalene as white solid. MS: 234.1 ([M]+). Using general procedure B, ethyl 2-indole carboxylate was coupled with 1-bromomethyl-8-methyl-naphthalene to give 1-(8-methyl-naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester which was hydrolyzed as described in the general procedure B (Exp. 2.2) to give the title compound as a white solid. MS: 314.4 ([M−H]−).
