2′-nitro)propylindole 4a and 4,6-difluoro-5-methoxy-3-(1′-methyl-2′-nitro)ethylindole 4b, respectively, in one step. Reduction of the nitro group with lithiumaluminumhydride followed by removal of the methyl ether with boron tribromide produced the title compounds. They were inactive as MAO B inhibitors.
