Procedure

To a solution of 2-tert-butyl-1H-indole (10 g, 48 mmol) in AcOH (40 mL) was added NaBH4 at 10° C. The mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at 10° C. before being treated dropwise with H2O under ice cooling. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to give 2-tert-butylindoline (9.8 g), which was used directly in the next step.
