1-Pentine-3-ol (0.757 g, 9 mmol), aniline (0.559 g, 6 mmol), Ru3(CO)12 (16.0 mg, 0.025 mmol) and aniline hydrochloride (0.130 g, 1.0 mmol) were placed in a 10 ml round-bottomed flask, and the mixture was stirred at 140° C. for 7.5 hours. After cooling, dichloromethane (3 mL) was added, and the organic layer was washed twice with 1 M hydrochloric acid (2 mL) and once with water (2 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled away, whereby a 9.3:1 mixture of 2-ethyl-3-methyl indole and 3-ethyl-2-methyl indole (1.06 g; 6.67 mmol; yield, 95%) was obtained.
