1-(3-Methoxybenzyl)-7-azaindole (3.57 g, 15 mmoles) is dissolved in 50 mL of t-butyl methyl ether. A solution of 1.54 mL of oxalyl chloride (18 mmoles) in 10 mL of t-butyl methyl ether is added dropwise at 0° C. with stirring. Subsequently, the mixture is refluxed for 2 hours, after which the solvent is distilled off under vacuum. The resulting 1-(3-methoxybenzyl)-7-azaindole-3-yl-glyoxylic acid chloride is obtained as a solid residue, which is suspended in 50 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF).
