A mixture of paraformaldehyde (82.0 mg, 2.71 mmol) and 2-methylaminoethanol (0.218 mL, 2.71 mmol) in EtOH (2 mL) was heated at 50° C. for 20 minutes. 7-methyl-1H-indol-5-ol (Intermediate 11, 500 mg, 3.4 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours at room temperature. The mixture was diluted with DCM (15 mL) and divided in two portions to be purified on two SCX-columns (5 g) preconditioned with DCM/MeOH 1:1 (20 mL) and eluted with DCM/MeOH 1:1 (50 mL) (contains only sm) and 1 M MeOH (40 mL) (contains product) to give 490 mg of a brown oil that turned solid. MS m/z 235 [M+H]+.
