Procedure

To a solution of 7-cyano-5-nitroindole (0.7 g, 4.4 mmol) in 20 mL of THF was added 5.0 mL of MeMgBr (3.0 M) and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at 25° C. Reaction was quenched by adding 10 mL of 1.0 N aqueous HCl. Reaction mixture was basified with 3 N aqueous NaOH and aqueous solution was extracted with EtOAc several times. Organic extracts were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to provide oily residue which was subjected to column chromatography (50% EtOAc/Cy.hexane) to yield 0.20 g (1.2 mmol, 26%) of the desired product.
