Reaction Steps

To a solution of (Z)-5-fluoro-4-[1-iodo-3-oxo-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-propenyl]-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (from Example 8 above) (396 mg, 1.0 mmol) in DMF (4.0 mL) and ethanolamine (Aldrich, 0.6 mL, 610 mg, 10.0 mmol) was added NaH (Aldrich, 95%, 270 mg, 10.0 mmol) in portions at 0° C. After stirring at the same temperature for 10 minutes, the reaction mixture was heated to 130° C. for 2 hours. The reaction was quenched by pouring the reaction mixture into an ice-cold saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (30 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were successively washed with water (20 mL) and brine (20 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford 6-fluoro-5-(2-hydroxy-ethylamino)-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1H-benzo[cd]indol-2-one as a yellow solid. (Yield 25.0 mg, 8.0%).
