Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-Butyl 4-{[5-hydroxy-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-4-yl]methyl}piperazine-1-carboxylate (45 mg, 0.10 mmol; Intermediate 64) in dry DCM (2 mL) was added bromoacetonitrile, 57 mg (0.48 mmol), tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulphate, 8 mg (0.02 mmol), 2M NaOH (1 mL) and the two phase system was vigorously stirred at room temperature over night. The organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase was washed once with water. The solvent from the combined organic phases was removed at reduced pressure and the residue was purified on a on a preparative HPLC, method B, to yield 2.9 mg (7%) of the target compound as a light brown oil. MS (ESI+) for C21H22N4O3S m/z 411 (M+H)+.
