Procedure

To a solution of methyl 2-bromo-3-cyclohexyl-1H-indole-6-carboxylate (prepared as described in International patent application WO2004087714, from commercially available methyl indole-6-carboxylate) in a mixture of DME and EtOH (5:2, v/v, 0.2 M) were added 2 eq of Na2CO3 (2 M aqueous solution), 1.3 eq of (2-hydroxyphenyl)boronic acid and 0.1 eq of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0). The mixture was degassed thoroughly with a stream of dry N2 and then heated to 100° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool, diluted with some EtOAc and filtered over a plug of celite. The filtrate was diluted with EtOAc and the organic phase washed with water, brine and dried over Na2SO4 before being filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (1:7 EtOAc/PE, then 1:3) to afford the title compound as a light yellow solid (60%); MS (ES+) n/z 350 (M+H)+.
