To 6-chloro-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde (1 equiv.) in DMF at 0° C. was added NaH (1.25 equiv.) portionwise followed by benzhydryl bromide (1.46 equiv.) and Bu4NI (0.05 equiv.). The mixture was stirred at rt for 42 h before quenching with cold 0.4N HCl at 0° C. After neutralization, the aqueous layer was extracted with ether and the organic layer was washed with cold H2O and dried. Flash chromatography on silica gel gave 1-benzhydryl-6-chloro-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde in 40% yield.
