Procedure
To a solution of 2-(6-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethylamine (0.88 g) and NEt3 (2.27 ml) in CH2Cl2 (8 ml) was added acetic acid anhydride (0.43 ml) and stirring was continued at 22° C. for 1 h. The mixture was washed with 1 N aqueous HCl, the organic layer was dried and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica using CH2Cl2/MeOH (25:1) to give the title compound as a pale yellow oil. MS: 219.1 ([M−H]−).
