A flask is charged with 5-(6-chloro-1H-indol-2-yl)-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (Example 104, 7.8 g, 28.9 mmol), Mel (5.33 g, 37.5 mmol) and DMF (300 mL), and 60% NaH in mineral oil (1.386 g, 34.6 mmol) is added at 0° C. The mixture is stirred for 2 h. Water (100 mL) is added. The mixture is extracted with EtOAc twice and the combined organic phase is washed with water (2×200 mL) and brine (200 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by silica gel chromatography with a 0 to 2% methanol-DCM gradient to give 6-chloro-2-(5-formyl-pyridin-3-yl)-1-methyl-1H-indole. MS (ESI) m/z 271.0, 272.9 (M+H)+.
