Reaction Steps

To a suspension of copper(I) iodide (Aldrich, 190 mg, 1.0 mmol) in dry THF (2 mL) was added methyllithium (Aldrich, 1.4 M solution in ether, 1.42 mL, 2.0 mmol), under argon, at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. To the colorless solution obtained was added dropwise 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) (39.6 mg, 0.1 mmol) in THF (2 mL). After stirring at 0° C. for another 45 minutes, the reaction mixture was quenched with a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (10 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic extracts were successively washed with water (10 mL) and brine (10 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give crude product (28.5 mg) which was further purified by preparative TLC (silica gel, 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford 6-fluoro-5-methyl-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1H-benzo[cd]indol-2-one as a yellow solid. (Yield 12.6 mg, 47.4%).
