To a suspension of potassium tert-butylate (12.8 g, 114 mmol) in dry THF (80 ml) at 0° C. under an argon atmosphere was added portionwise 6-bromoindolin-2-one (5.0 g, 22.9 mmol) followed by copper(I) bromide-dimethylsulfide complex (470 mg, 2.29 mmol). MeI (6.82 g, 3.00 ml, 48.0 mmol) was added dropwise within 45 minutes, keeping temperature of the reaction mixture below 8° C. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and kept at this temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. again and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was cautiously added. The mixture was diluted with tert-butyl methyl ether and water. The aqueous phase was extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether, the combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated and the residue purified by silica gel chromatography using ethyl acetate/heptane as eluent. The title compound was obtained as light yellow solid (5.17 g).
