Procedure

To a solution of 4-tert-butyl-5-nitro-2-trimethylsilanylethynyl-phenylamine (25 g, 86 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was added CuI (8.2 g, 43 mmol) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was heated at 135° C. in a sealed pressure flask overnight, cooled down to room temperature and filtered through a short plug of Celite. The filter cake washed with EtOAc. The combined filtrate washed with water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (10-20% ethyl acetate/hexane) to provide 5-tert-butyl-6-nitro-1H-indole as a yellow solid (13 g, 69%).
