The reaction was cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc and quenched with saturated NaHCO3 solution until the pH was 7. The reaction mixture was then filtered through a plug of celite. The layers were separated and the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified via silica gel column chromatography using 0 to 40% EtOAc in hexanes to obtain 3-tert-butyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indol-6-amine. LC/MS: m/z 257.3 (M+H)+ at 1.54 min (10%-99% CH3CN (0.035% TFA)/H2O (0.05% TFA)).
