A solution of 6-hydroxybenzofuran-3(2H)-one (0.400 g, 2.7 mmol) and 5-nitro-1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde (0.56 g, 2.9 mmol) in ethanol (5.0 mL) was added with concentrated hydrochloric acid (1.0 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then the solid was collected by filtration, and washed with methanol to obtain (Z)-6-hydroxy-2-[(5-nitro-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene]benzofuran-3(2H)-one (0.77 g, 90%).
