0.22 g (0.5 mmol) of 2-(2-chloro-ethoxy)-benzoic acid methyl ester were added to a mixture of 0.1 g (0.5 mmol) of 3-piperidin-4-yl-1H-indole, 0.08 g (0.6 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 0.04 g (0.2 mmol) of potassium iodide in 1.5 mL of isobutyl methyl ketone under nitrogen atmosphere and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 18 hours. After cooling at room temperature 1.5 mL of dichloromethane and 0.08 g (0.1 mmol) of polystyrene methyl isocyanate were added and the mixture was stirred at this temperature for 3 hours. After filtering, the solution was placed directly on a 500 mg Varian SCX ion exchange column. The columns were washed with 5 mL of methanol and the product was eluted with 5 mL of methanol/ammonia 20:1 affording, after removal of the solvent at reduced pressure, 0.113 g (60% yield) of 2-{2-[4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-piperidin-1-yl]-ethoxy}-benzoic acid methyl ester as a yellow oil.
