N-(2-cyanomethyl-phenyl)-nicotinamide (0.095 g, 0.384 mmol) is dissolved in DMF (3 mL). NaH (60%, 0.015 g, 0.384 mmol) is added and the mixture is heated to 130° C. After 18 h, the mixture is cooled down, diluted with ethyl acetate, and washed with 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide. The combined washings are back-extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by silica gel flash chromatography (dichloromethane-methanol, 99:1 to 19:1) to give 2-pyridin-3-yl-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile as a brown solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) δ ppm 7.29-7.32 (m, 1H), 7.34-7.39 (m, 1H), 7.57 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (dd, J=8.0, 4.9 Hz, 1H), 7.70 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 8.39-8.44 (m, 1H), 8.68 (dd, J=4.8, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 9.15 (d, J=1.5 Hz, 1H).
