Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-butyl-3-(2-methoxycarbonyl-cyclopent-1-enyl)-1H-indole-6-carboxylic acid on Wang resin (100 mg; compound 7-1, prepared according to the procedure outlined in Example 7) in dimethylformamide (1.5 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil; 20 mg) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. Benzyl bromide (0.1 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 3 h. The mixture was filtered, washed with water (1×1.5 mL), tetrahydrofuran (2×1.5 mL), dichloromethane (2×1.5 mL), and dried. The product was cleaved from the resin by treatment with 1:1 trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane for 1 h; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 0.76 (t, 3 H), 1.20 (m, 2 H), 1.98 (m, 2 H), 2.00 (m, 2 H), 2.68 (t, 2 H), 2.82 (m, 4 H), 3.43 (s, 3 H), 5.56 (s, 2 H), 6.96 (d, 2 H), 7.30 (m, 4 H), 7.60 (d, 1 H), 7.90 (s, 1 H).
