Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(indan4-yloxy)-ethylchloride (0.58 g, 2.9 mmol), 3-(5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)-propylamine (1.4 g, 7.4 mmol) and triethylamine (1 ml, 7.4 mmol) in anhydrous dimethylsulfoxide (20 ml) was allowed to stir for 12 hours at 90° C. The mixture was poured into water (100 ml) and extracted with methylene chloride (3×100 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (3×100 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent was removed under vacuum. Chromatography (7% methanol-methylene choride) afforded 0.31 g (30%) of product as a brown oil.
