Procedure

Using essentially the same procedure described in Example 1, Step 5, hereinabove and employing N,N-dimethyl-(1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-3-yl)methylamine as substrate and 1:2 ethanol:ethyl acetate as the chromatography eluent affords the title acetonitrile as a yellow solid, 0.160 g (26% yield), identified by NMR analysis.
