Methyl 1H-indole-6-carboxylate (1.00 g, 5.71 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous DMF (10 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere. A solution of N-bromosuccinimide (NBS, 1.04 g, 5.84 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (10 mL) was added slowly dropwise at -60 °C over 20 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at -60 °C, followed by a slow warming to room temperature over 3 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, it was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (20 mL, repeated three times). The organic layers were combined and the solvent was removed by vacuum concentration. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with the eluents being petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (the proportion of ethyl acetate was increased in a gradient from 0%) to give methyl 3-bromoindole-6-carboxylate (1.41 g, 98% yield). The product was characterized by 1H NMR (600 MHz, CD3OD): δ 8.15 (s, 1H), 7.80 (d, J = 6.0 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (m, 2H), 3.94 (s, 3H).

Reaction Conditions:
with N-Bromosuccinimide in N,N-dimethyl-formamide at -60 - 20; for 3.33 h;Inert atmosphere;
Steps:
7 methyl 3-bromo-1H-indole-6-carboxylate (131-1).
Under N2 atmosphere, to an anhydrous DMF solution (10 mL) of methyl 1H-indole-6-carboxylate (1.00 g, 5.71 mmol) was added dropwise an anhydrous DMF (10 mL) solution of NBS (1.04 g, 5.84 mmol) at -60 oC over 20 min, and stirred and slowly warmed to rt in 3 h. The reaction mixture was worked up by ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (20 mL, X3), and ethyl acetate layer was concentrated in vacuo and residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with hexanes and ethyl acetate (EA: 0-40%) to give product (1.41 g, 98%).1H NMR (600 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.15 (s, 1H), 7.80 (d, J = 6.0 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (m, 2H), 3.94 (s, 3H).
