Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of ethyl 7-({[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]sulfonyl}amino)-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (5.0 g) and potassium carbonate (2.0 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) was added methyl iodide (0.75 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred from under ice-cooling to room temperature for 18 hr. The reaction solution was ice-cooled, methyl iodide (0.75 mL) was added again, and the mixture was stirred from under ice-cooling to room temperature for 18 hr. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, aqueous citric acid solution and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was subjected to basic silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=20:80-35:65), and the obtained crude product was subjected three times to silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=5:95-10:90) to give the title compound (3.7 g, yield: 72%) as a pale-yellow oil. MS: 427 (MH+).
