Reaction Steps

2-(Hydroxymethyl)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole-4-carbaldehyde and 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole-6-carbaldehyde (Intermediates 71) in dry THF (8 mL), was distributed into two micro wave vials (47 mg, 0.12 mmol, in each), where after 1-BOC-piperazine (46 mg, 0.25 mmol), acetic acid (70 μL, 1.23 mmol) and NaB(OAc)3H (78 mg, 0.37 mmol) were added to each vial. The mixtures were irradiated with microwaves for 720 s at 130° C., filtered and concentrated. The residues were dissolved in MeOH (1.5 mL) and conc. HCl (0.5 mL) and irradiated using microwaves at 100° C. for 300 s, filtered and purified using preparative HPLC/UV (System A, 20-50% MeCN, 0.1% TFA). Concentration of fractions from the compound with shortest retention time gave 38 mg of [1-(phenylsulfonyl)-4-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methanol. Purification was performed by preparative HPLC/UV (System A, 20-50% MeCN, 0.1% NH4OAc). Concentration was followed by extraction using DCM (×2) and aq. Na2CO3/brine. The organic layers were combined, dried, filtered and concentrated to give 7 mg, 6% of a light yellow solid. HPLC purity 98% RT=1.59 min (System A, 10-97% MeCN over 3 minutes), 98% RT=1.35 min (System B, 10-97% MeCN over 3 minutes). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CHLOROFORM-D) δ ppm 2.37 (s, 4 H) 2.88 (t, J=4.71 Hz, 4 H) 3.60 (s, 2 H) 4.95 (s, 2 H) 6.82 (s, 1 H) 7.45 (t, J=7.85 Hz, 2 H) 7.49 (s, 1 H) 7.56 (t, J=7.54 Hz, 1 H) 7.85 (d, J=8.48 Hz, 2 H) 8.19 (s, 1H). 13C NMR (126 MHz, CHLOROFORM-D) δ ppm 45.97 (s, 2 C) 54.23 (s, 2 C) 58.43 (s, 1 C) 63.31 (s, 1 C) 109.04 (s, 1 C) 117.93 (s, 1 C) 121.88-127.09 (m, 1 C) 122.09 (s, 1 C) 124.91 (s, 2 C) 126.55 (s, 2 C) 129.49 (s, 2 C) 134.32 (s, 1 C) 135.61 (s, 1 C) 137.53 (s, 1 C) 138.15 (s, 1 C) 141.98 (s, 1 C).
