Reaction Steps

A 250 mL sealed round bottom flask under nitrogen is charged with 4-[5-cyclopropyl-3-(2,6-dichloro-phenyl)-isoxazol-4-ylmethoxy]-piperidine (15 g, 40.84 mmol), 6-bromo-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (15.33 g, 57.18 mmol); potassium carbonate (11.29 g, 81.68 mmol), copper(I) iodide (3.11 g, 16.34 mmol), and proline (1.88 g, 16.34 mmol) in 80 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide. The reaction mixture is heated at 120° C. for 16 h. Then, it is cooled down to room temperature, quenched with water (200 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×150 mL). The organics are washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The crude is purified by flash silica gel chromatography using hex/EtOAc 8:2 to 1:1 as eluent system, to obtain 9.8 g of the title compound as a white solid (43%). MS (m/e): 554 (M+1)
