An efficient synthesis of a new substituted ergoline synthon, 3,4-dihydro-6-methoxybenz[cd]indol-5(1H)-one, is described. The general synthetic strategy was also applied to the preparation of the known 3,4-dihydrobenz[cd]indol-5-(1H)-one, Uhle''s ketone. The key step, a formal decarboxylation of intermediate 2-carboxy-3,4-dihydrobenz[cd]indol-5(1H)-one, is accomplished by reduction of the carboxylate ethyl ester to the indole-2-carboxaldehyde followed by catalytic decarbonylation to the parent indole using in situ generated Rh(1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane)2+Cl- catalyst. The catalytic decarbonylation reaction was extended to several other indole-2-carboxaldehydes and appears to be a general reaction of indole aldehydes.
