Procedure

1.6M n-Butyllithium (1.19 ml, 1.90 mmol) was added to dry THF (10 ml) containing diisopropylamine (0.266 ml, 1.90 mmol) under Ar at 0° C. After 15 mins, the mixture was cooled to -78° C., and 3-acetyl-1-methyl-1H-indole (0.300 g, 1.73 mmol) in dry THF (5 ml) was added slowly. The resulting mixture was left at -78° C. for 1 h, before pyridine-4-carboxaldehyde (0.165 ml, 1.73 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was then left at -78° C. for 1 h, before being allowed to warm to 0° C., whereupon chlorotrimethylsilane (0.439 ml, 3.46 mmol) was added. The mixture was then allowed to warm to room temp and stirred for 1 h, before being evaporated under reduced pressure and partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was then dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a pale yellow solid which was purified by silica-gel chromatography (EtOAc as eluant) to give the title compound as a yellow solid (0.300 g, 51%).
