Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 7-hydroxy-5-{[5-(methylsulfonyl)pyridin-2-yl]oxy}-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (8.71 g) in a mixture of methanol (300 mL) and toluene (300 mL) was added dropwise 2M trimethylsilyldiazomethane diethyl ether solution (12.5 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 h. Furthermore 2M trimethylsilyldiazomethane diethyl ether solution (10 mL) was added to the mixture and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, which was repeated three times. And then 2M trimethylsilyldiazomethane diethyl ether solution (5 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, which was repeated two times. To quench the reaction, 1M hydrochloric acid (80 mL) was added to the mixture. Water was added to the mixture and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residual solid was washed with diethyl ether to give the title compound (8.25 g, 92%) as a purple solid. MS 363 (MH+).
