Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of triethylsilane (0.76 mL), trifluoroacetic acid (0.61 mL) and 1,2-dichloroethane (3.0 mL) at −10° C. was treated dropwise with a mixture of (5-fluoro-2-methylindol-1-yl)acetic acid methyl ester (0.070 g), 2-(2-chlorobenzenesulfonyl)-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (0.089 g) and 1,2-dichloroethane (6.0 mL), and the resulting mixture was stirred at −10° C. for 15 minutes and then at room temperature for 4 hours. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and pentane (1:4 to 4:1 by volume). Further purification by crystallisation from ethyl acetate and pentane gave the title compound as a white solid (0.11 g).
