To a solution of sodium isopropanolate [prepared from sodium (30 mg, 1.3 mmol, 1.2 eq.) and isopropanol (8 mL)] were added, under an argon atmosphere, (5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-acetonitrile (200 mg, 1.1 mmol, 1.0 eq.) and, after 10 minutes stirring, 3-formyl-benzonitrile (200 mg, 1.5 mmol, 1.4 eq.). The reaction apparatus was protected from light and the mixture stirred heated at reflux for 4 hours. The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature and then, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the crude purified by silica gel flash-column chromatography (eluent: CH2Cl2/MeOH, 100:0 à 97:3). The residue was triturated with ethanol and diethyl ether to the compound (32) as a yellow powder (80 mg, 24%).
