Procedure

Via a syringe, diethyl zinc is added to a mixture of 1-ethyl-6-vinyloxy-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (288.1 mg, 1.36 mmol), chloroiodomethane (268.9 mg, 1.53 mmol) and 5 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane over a period of 10 min, maintaining the temperature at −10° C. The mixture is warmed to 20-25° C. for 20 min., and then cooled back to 0° C. Saturated NH4Cl (15 mL), concentrated ammonium hydroxide (15 mL), and ethyl acetate (15 mL) are added in sequence at this temperature, and stirred for 10 min. After the phases are separated, the aqueous phase is back-extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL). The combined organic phases are washed with saturated NH4Cl (10 mL), dried over MgSO4 and then the solution is concentrated and the product is purified by chromatography, eluting with 15-30% ethyl acetate/hexanes to afford 140.5 mg (45.7% yield) of 6-cyclopropoxy-1-ethyl-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile as a yellow solid.
