Reaction Steps

To a solution of Ethyl 1-(3-methoxybenzyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-[2-(methylamino)ethoxy]-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (Example 156, 100 mg, 0.2028 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1.5 ml) was added diisopropylethylamine (0.09 ml, 0.5167 mmol, 2.5 eq.) and 2-chlorobenzoxazole (0.03 ml, 0.2636 mmol, 1.3 eq.). The reaction mixture was heated at 120° C. for 4 hr. After cooling the reaction was diluted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash column (silica gel, dichloromethane to dichloromethane:methanol 95:5). The desired product was obtained as a light yellow oil in 97% yield (119 mg), MS (M+H)=606.3, Rf=0.69 (dichloromethane/methanol 95:5).
