1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (180 mg, 1.23 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (6 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. p-Tolylmagnesium bromide in tetrahydrofuran (2.48 mL, 2.48 mmol) was added dropwise. After stirring for 3 h, the reaction mixture was quenched by pouring into a 2:1 solution of saturated ammonium chloride and water, then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water and then brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to provide the crude material.
