Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-chloro-N-[1-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(piperidin-4-ylmethoxy)ethyl]-1H-indole-6-carboxamide (700 mg, 1.6 mmol) in 5 mL of DMSO was added potassium carbonate (1.0 g, 7.9 mmol) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethane-sulfonate (364 mg, 1.6 mmol). The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight after which time water was added and the resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration. Purification of the filtrate (SiO2: 30% EtOAc in hexane) provided 250 mg (30%) of the title compound.
