The major regioisomer 5 can be isolated in pure form by crystallization of the reaction mixture. Alternatively, the indole mixture can be esterified with an alcohol such as 2-trimethylsilylethanol to afford the corresponding esters that can then be separated by a number of means, for example by chromatography.
