Reaction Steps

Toluene-4-sulfonic acid 7,8-dihydro-6H-5-oxa-1-aza-phenanthren-6-ylmethyl ester (0.22 g, 1.67 mmole) and 5-fluoro-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridinyl)-1H-indole (4.0 g, 1.8 mmole) were combined in 200 mL of DMSO and heated at 75-80° C. under nitrogen for 13 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was partitioned between 400 mL each of ethyl acetate and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase was removed, washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to an oil in vacuum. This was column chromatographed on silica gel using first methylene chloride to elute impurities and then 5% methanol in methylene chloride to elute the product, 0.19 g of a yellow oil. The oil was recrystallized from isopropanol with the addition of 0.05 g of oxalic acid to give 0.043 g of the title compound as a yellow solid (m.p. 148° C.).
