Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-bromo-3-cyclohexyl-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-indole-6-carboxylate (3.43 g, 9.01 mmol) in chloroform (30 ml) were added triethylamine (1.40 ml, 10.0 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.77 ml, 9.90 mmol) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 30 min. Water was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was successively washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give methyl 2-bromo-3-cyclohexyl-1-(2-methanesulfonyloxyethyl)-1H-indole-6-carboxylate as a crude product. The obtained crude product was used for Step 4 without purification.
