Procedure

25.0 g (154.2 mmol) 5-nitroindole (Aldrich N1,760-2) and 21.7 g (386.7 mmol) potassium hydroxide (Ident. 1087347-001) were dissolved in 270 ml DMF. To this solution 39.5 g (155.6 mmol) iodine dissolved in 250 ml DMF were added drop wise during one hour. The resulting mixture was subsequently stirred for 1.0 h at room temperature. Afterwards the reaction mixture was poured on 2.5 l of sludge. The formed precipitate was collected by filtration and washed twice with water. The residue obtained was dried in a vacuum (yield: 43.0 g).
