Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)propylamine (0.26 g, 1.2 mmol), 5-fluoro-3-(3-p-toluenesulfonyloxypropyl)indole (0.26 g, 0.81 mol) and triethylamine (0.13 g, 1.2 mmol) in anhydrous diethylsulfoxide (20 ml) was allowed to stir for 8 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 (10% methanol-methylene chloride plus ammonium hydroxide) afforded 0.1 g (36%) of product of product as a yellow oil.
