Procedure

Diphosphoryl chloride (0.938 mL, 6.80 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 4-nitroindole (1.00 g, 6.17 mmol) and methylpyrrolidinyl glyoxylate (Downie et al., Tetrahedron, 1993, 49, 4015-4034) (1.10 g, 6.80 mmol) at 0° C. and the mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature over 3 h. MeOH, then saturated aqueous NaHCO3 were added to the reaction at 0° C. and the solution was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo until crystals formed. The crystals were collected by vacuum filtration and two more crops were isolated from the filtrate to give the title compound. MS: m/z=249 (M+1).
