[Cl:1][C:2]1[CH:10]=[C:9]2[C:5]([C:6]3([CH2:13][CH2:12]3)[C:7](=O)[NH:8]2)=[CH:4][CH:3]=1.CO>C1COCC1>[Cl:1][C:2]1[CH:10]=[C:9]2[C:5]([C:6]3([CH2:13][CH2:12]3)[CH2:7][NH:8]2)=[CH:4][CH:3]=1A mixture of 6′ chloro-spiro[cyclopropane-1,3′-[3H]indol]-2′(1′H)-one (0.291 g, 1.5 mmol) and borane-dimethyl sulfide complex in THF (2 M, 3.0 mL) was heated at reflux under nitrogen for 2 h. The mixture was cooled and MeOH (3 mL) was added dropwise (caution!). The resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 2 h, then was cooled and solvent evaporated in vacuo. Chromatography (SiO2; gradient elution with 0-100% Et2O in petrol) gave the title compound (0.142 g). MS: [M+H]+=180.
