Reaction Steps

Dess-Martin reagent (39 mg, 0.09 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(3-(4-methoxphenyl)-1-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}indol-2-yl)ethan-1-ol (Example 219, 40 mg, 0.08 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 mL). The resulting solution was stirred for 2 hours, more oxidant was added, and then the mixture was left stirring for 18 h. The reaction was quenched with a mixed aqueous solution of saturated sodium bicarbonate and saturated sodium thio sulfate (1:1, 10 mL), and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water, and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel flash chromatography using hexane/ethyl acetate (4/1) as the eluant gave 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}indol-2-yl)ethan-1-one as an orange oil (27 mg, 70%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.76 (d, 1H), 7.47-7.62 (m, 4H), 7.20-7.45 (m, 5H), 7.05 (d, 2H), 5.76 (s, 2H); MS (MH+) calcd for C25H18F6NO2: 478., found: 478.
