Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 2-(7-(3-cyano-4-isopropoxybenzyloxy)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indol-1-yl)acetate (452 mg, 0.981 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-amino-3-mercaptopropanoic acid (214 mg, 1.767 mmol) in TFA (5 mL) and was stirred at room temperature for 15 min. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water. The white precipitate was collected by filtration to provide the title compound (342 mg). LCMS m/z=405.5 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.40 (d, J=6.1 Hz, 6H), 2.26-2.36 (m, 1H), 2.66 (dd, J=16.4, 8.5 Hz, 1H), 2.85-2.97 (m, 2H), 3.72-3.80 (m, 1H), 3.98-4.06 (m, 1H), 4.10-4.17 (m, 1H), 4.65 (septet, J=6.1 Hz, 1H), 5.00 (s, 2H), 6.12 (s, 1H), 6.84 (dd, J=8.8, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 6.96 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.06 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.14 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (dd, J=8.8, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.64 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H).
