Procedure

A flask is charged with 6-chloro-2-(5-formyl-pyridin-3-yl)-1-methyl-1H-indole (Example 126a, 1.2 g, 4.43 mmol), ethanesulfonamide (0.726 g, 6.65 mmol), titanium(IV) isopropoxide (2.60 mL, 8.87 mmol) and toluene (50 mL). The reaction mixture is refluxed overnight and then concentrated to dryness. The crude material (1.60 g) is dissolved in MeOH (24 mL) and DCM (24 mL), and sodium borohydride (0.335 g, 8.87 mmol) is added. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 h, then concentrated in vacuo. The residue is taken up in DCM and washed with water twice. The organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification is achieved by silica gel flash chromatography to give N-[5-(6-Chloro-1-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)-pyridin-3-ylmethyl]-ethanesulfonamide. 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) δ ppm 1.38 (t, J=7.3 Hz, 3H), 3.14 (q, J=7.3 Hz, 2H), 3.80 (s, 3H), 4.43 (s, 2H), 6.72 (s, 1H), 7.12 (dd, J=8.5, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 7.54 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.59 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 8.10 (t, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 8.63 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.71 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H). HRMS (ESI) m/z 364.0869 [(M+H)+ Calcd for C17H19ClN3O2S: 364.0887].
