Procedure

To a stirred suspension of methyl 6-cyano-1-isopropyl-3-methyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylate (0.50 g, 1.951 mmol) in azidotrimethylsilane (1.0 mL, 7.53 mmol) in a small vial was added tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate (300 mg, 0.951 mmol). The reaction was heated to 85° C. and stirred for 18 hr (attached a small reflux condensor). (The reaction became a semi-solid mass.) The reaction was taken up in EtOAc (75 mL), washed with 1N HCl (75 mL) (stirred till dissolved). The organic phase was removed, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under vacuum. Purification by silica gel chromatography (Analogix, SF40-80g, 0 to 3% MeOH/CH2Cl2 with 0.1% HOAc) gave the product methyl 1-isopropyl-3-methyl-6-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1H-indole-4-carboxylate (0.28 g, 0.935 mmol, 48.0% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.40 (d, J=1.3 Hz, 1H), 8.15 (d, J=1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.69 (s, 1H), 4.86 (quin, J=6.6 Hz, 1H), 3.94 (s, 3H), 2.33 (s, 3H), 1.50 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 6H). MS(ES)+ m/e 300.3 [M+H]+.
