Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixed solution of 7-methyl-5-{[6-(methylsulfonyl)pyridin-3-yl]oxy}-1H-indole-2-carbothioamide (2.6 g), ethyl 2-butynoate (1.7 mL), tetrahydrofuran (40 mL), and toluene (60 mL) was added tri-n-butylphosphine (2.2 mL) under an argon atmosphere at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 2.5 hr. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=40:60 to 65:35, volume ratio) to give the title compound (2.59 g, yield 76%) as a pale-yellow amorphous solid.
