Procedure

The title compound was prepared by the same procedure for 1-quinolin-4-yl-ethanol from 1-methyl-1H-indole-4-carbaldehyde (2.8 g, 17.6 mmol), 3 M methyl magnesium iodide solution in diethyl ether (10 mL, 30 mmol, Aldrich) and anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (20 mL). The crude title compound obtained in form as yellow oil in 97% yield (3.0 g, 17.1 mmol).
