The system was degassed and then purged three times with nitrogen. The mixture was stirred under nitrogen at 70° C. in an oil bath for 4 hours. It was then cooled to room temperature and ethyl acetate (300 mL) was added. The organic layer was isolated, washed by brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was triturated with dichloromethane to give 570 mg (71%) of 4-pyrimidin-5-yl-1H-indole as a pale green solid.
