Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminium hydride (0.094 g, 2.488 mmol) was added to a solution of 5-fluoro-N-methoxy-N-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (0.691 g, 3.11 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) at 0° C. and stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and 25% ammonia solution was added dropwise to the reaction mixture until lithium aluminium hydride color turn gray to white. Then dichloromethane and cerite was added to the reaction mixture and stirred for 30 min. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite and concentrated in vacuo to give 523 mg of the crude title compound. This was used for the next step without further purification:
