4,6-Dimethylindole (1.08 g) was dissolved in acetic acid (20 ml), and sodium cyanoborohydride (2.3 g) was added portionwise at 15° C. The mixture was stirred at said temperature for one hour and poured into ice water. Saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added to neutralize the mixture and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in benzene, and acetic anhydride (840 mg) was added, which was followed by stirring at room temperature for one hour. The reaction mixture was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and saturated brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed (ISCO, hexane/EtOAc, 0-40%, 40 min) to give 1.3 g of 1-acetyl-4,6-dimethylindoline.
