Following the general procedure of 3-[1-(ethylsulfonyl)-4-piperidinyl]-5-(5-{[(2-methylbutyl)amino]methyl}-2-thienyl)-1H-indole-7-carboxamide, (5-formyl-2-thienyl)boronic acid (50 mg, 0.32 mmol), butylamine (24 mg, 0.32 mmol), and NaCNBH3 (40 mg, 0.64 mmol) were reacted to give 49 mg of crude {5-[(butylamino)methyl]-2-thienyl}boronic acid. The crude {5-[(butylamino)methyl]-2-thienyl}boronic acid was then reacted with 5-bromo-3-[1-(ethylsulfonyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1H-indole-7-carboxamide (65 mg, 0.157 mmol), K2CO3 (130 mg, 0.942 mmol), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (4 mg, 0.003 mmol) to give 27.2 mg of the title compound (24%).
