Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The same procedures used in Example 1 were repeated except for using 870 mg of indole-3-carbaldehyde and 2-methoxybenzyl methanesulfonate in place of the benzyl bromide used in Example 1 to give 926 mg of 1-(2-methoxybenzyl)indole-3-carbaldehyde as pale yellow crystals. The yield thereof was found to be 58%.
