Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-chloro-N-[4-(methyloxy)-1H-indazol-3-yl]-N-({[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl]oxy}methyl)-2-thiophenesulfonamide (for a preparation see Intermediate 8) (1 g, 2.11 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was treated at ambient temperature with potassium carbonate (0.583 g, 4.22 mmol) and methyl 3-(bromomethyl)benzoate (Alfa Aesar) (0.580 g, 2.53 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 h and the LCMS then showed product as the major peak. The mixture was diluted with DCM (20 mL) and of water (20 mL). The organic phase was separated and the aqueous layer was further extracted with DCM (20 mL). The combined organic solutions were washed with brine (30 mL), dried over an hydrophobic frit, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was loaded in dichloromethane to a silica 100 g cartridge and purified by chromatography on Flashmaster II using a 0-100% gradient B in A, A beeing neat DCM and B being a 5% EtOAC in DCM solution over 40 min. and then further purified on a second cartridge silica 70 g using a 0-100% gradient B in A, A beeing neat DCM and B being a 5% EtOAC in DCM solution over 40 min. The appropriate fractions were combined and evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound (571 mg, 44%) as a gum. LCMS (System A) RT=1.60 min, ES+ve m/z 639/641 (M+NH4)+.
