Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of triphenylphosphine oxide (849 mg) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (515 μL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. A solution of N-[2-(benzylthio)-3,3-dimethoxypropyl]-7-[(pyridin-2-ylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (1.5 g) and thioanisole (690 mg) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. Saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give white crystals from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate:hexane=50:50. The white crystals were purified by preparative HPLC to give the title compound (487 mg, yield 40%) as white crystals. melting point 153° C.
