Pyridinium tribromide (90% (Aldrich), 3.7 g, 10.32 mmol) was added portion-wise over 10 minutes to a suspension of 5-(1H-indol-4-yl)-pyridin-2-ylamine (720 mg, 3.44 mmol) in 2-methyl-2-propanol (25 mL), ethanol (15 mL) and acetic acid (9 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then acetic acid (36 mL), water (1 mL) and zinc dust (3.2 g, 56.1 mmol) were added. Stirring was continued for 1.5 hours. Residual zinc dust was filtered and washed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated and the syrupy residue was stirred in water (100 mL) overnight. The solid that formed was filtered, washed with water to remove zinc and pyridine salts and dried under high vacuum to give 750 mg (97%) of 4-(6-amino-pyridin-3-yl)-1,3-dihydroindol-2-one as a light brown solid.
