Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 7-methoxy-5-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenoxy]-1H-indole-2-carbothioamide (0.69 g), ethyl 2-butynoate (0.43 mL), tetrahydrofuran (15 mL) and toluene (25 mL) was added tributylphosphine (0.54 mL) at room temperature under argon atmosphere. After the mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 4 h, ethyl 2-butynoate (0.22 mL) and tributylphosphine (0.27 mL) were added thereto. After stirring at 40° C. for 2 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated to give a light brown oil, which was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=30:70 to 75:25, volume ratio) to give the title compound (684 mg, 72%) as a light yellow oil. MS 489 (MH+).
