(E)-methyl 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-(2-(methylsulfonyl)vinyl)-1H-indol-1-yl)butanoate → Methyl 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-(2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl)-1H-indol-1-yl)butanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E)-methyl 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-(2-(methylsulfonyl)vinyl)-1H-indol-1-yl)butanoate (1.18 g, 2.73 mmol) in EtOAc (50 mL) was added Pd/C (10% on carbon, 0.2 g). The mixture was stirred under H2 atmosphere for 30 min. Then the reaction mixture was filtered through a celite pad, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via column chromatography (0-30% EtOAc/hexanes) to provide the title compound. LC/MS m/z=434.1 [M+H]+.
