Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzenesulfonamide (155 mg, 1.0 mmol), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethyl-carbodiimide hydrochloride (96 mg, 0.50 mmol), and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (20 mg, 0.16 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}indole-2-carboxylic acid (Lit: WO94/14434, 213 mg, 0.50 mmol in dichloromethane (5 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred for 18 h and then quenched with hydrochloric acid (1N). The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL) and the combined organic extracts was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified with silica gel flash chromatography using hexane/ethyl acetate (2/1) as the eluant to give a white solid. It was further purified by trituration with diethyl ether to afford (3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}indol-2-yl)-N-(phenylsulfonyl) carboxamide as a white solid (220 mg, 78%): mp>250° C.; MS (electrospray, MH+) calcd for C30H24F3N2O4S 565.1, found 565.0; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.51-8.31 (m, 17 H), 7.03 (br s, 1H), 6.17 (s, 2H), 4.36 (s, 3H).
