Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Water (5 uL) was added to a cooled (0° C.) and stirred suspension of potassium t-butoxide (90 mg, 0.80 mmol) in ethyl ether (5 mL). The slurry was stirred for 5 min and then a solution of ethyl 3-[4-(cyclopropylmethoxy)phenyl]-5-ethoxy-1-(3-methoxybenzyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (Example 144, 52 mg, 0.10 mmoL) in ethyl ether (2+1 mL rinse) was added. The mixture was warmed to rt and stirred for 16 h. The solution was adjusted to pH=7 with 1 M hydrochloric acid and diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). This mixture was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative TLC, using 1:1 ethyl acetate/hexane as the eluent, to afford 7.0 mg (14%) of desired product. The product had: 1H NMR (300 MHz, acetone-D6) δ 7.45-7.37 (m, 3 H), 7.18 (t, 1 H), 6.99-6.91 (m, 4 H), 6.77 (dd, 1 H), 6.70 (m, 2 H), 5.85 (d, 2 H), 3.99-3.86 (m, 4 H), 3.69 (s, 3 H), 1.36-1.28 (m, 4 H), 0.63-0.59 (m, 2 H), 0.39-0.37 (m, 2 H); mass spectroscopy gave MH+=472.2 (calcd exact mass for C29H29NO5=471.20).
