To a solution of (±)-5-chloro-7-methyl-4-(((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy)methyl)-1-tosyl-1H-indole (Example 47-D) (2.7 g, 6.2 mmol) in isobutylzinc(II) bromide in THF (0.5 M, 24.9 mL, 12.4 mmol) was added Pd[(t-Bu)3P]2 (0.5 g, 0.98 mmol), and then the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 14 h. The mixture was then stirred under reflux for 7 h. The reaction was then diluted with H2O and EtOAc. The mixture was then filtered through a Celite® pad. The filtrate was partitioned. The organic phase was washed with H2O, and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by SiO2 column chromatography (heptane/EtOAc=88/12) to afford the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, ACETONITRILE-d3) δ 7.74 (d, J=3.79 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (d, J=8.59 Hz, 2H), 7.31 (d, J=8.60 Hz, 2H), 6.86-6.94 (m, 2H), 4.90 (d, J=11.12 Hz, 1H), 4.64 (d, J=11.12 Hz, 1H), 4.60-4.64 (m, 1H), 3.81-3.91 (m, 1H), 3.45-3.54 (m, 1H), 2.57 (d, J=7.33 Hz, 2H), 2.52 (s, 3H), 2.35 (s, 3H), 1.79-1.88 (m, 1H), 1.56-1.75 (m, 2H), 1.39-1.55 (m, 4H), 0.84-0.89 (m, 6H).
