Procedure

To a solution of C-(6-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-methylamine (0.24 g) in dichloromethane (4 ml) was added acetic anhydride (0.14 ml) and pyridine (0.13 ml) and stirring was continued at 22° C. for 20 min. The mixture was washed with aqueous HCl (1N), the organic layer was dried and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica using dichloromethane/methanol (70:1) to give the title compound as a colorless foam (0.15 g). MS: 203.1 ([M+H]+).
