Procedure: A solution of 1.60 g (8.81 mmol) (6-chloro-1H-indol-2-yl)-methanol in 5 ml 1,2-dichloroethane was added to a mixture of 80.0 ml trifluoroacetic acid and 32.0 ml triethylsilane at 65° C. After 5 min, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and quenched with water. The pH was adjusted to 14 by the addition of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (32%). The aqueous layer was extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (3×200 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash-chromatography (aminopropyl-modified silica gel, n-heptane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (0.39 g; 27%) as a white solid. quenched with water The pH was adjusted to 14 by the addition of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (32%) The aqueous layer was extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (3×200 ml) The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate concentrated in vacuo The residue was purified by flash-chromatography (aminopropyl-modified silica gel, n-heptane/ethyl acetate)
