The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature (TLC, 30% ethyl acetate in hexane, Rf=0.8). Cold water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL) and washed with water (2×50 mL) and brine (50 mL). The organic phase was thereafter dried and concentrated to get a crude product. The crude product was purified by Combi-Flash column (eluted at 10-20% ethyl acetate in hexane) to get (1-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-1-yl-cyclopentyl)-acetonitrile (399) (861 mg, 58%) as a light yellow thick oil.
