Upon completion (by TLC), the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to dryness. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography to provide 3-[(4-nitro-1H-indol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (547 mg, 34%).
