Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-methyl-5-indolyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (3.19 g, 11.4 mmol), triethylamine, and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene palladium (II) chloride (catalytic)in 9:1 THF/water was stirred under CO2 (500 psi) until HPLC indicated complete conversion. The solution was treated with water (30 mL), adjusted to pH 4-5, and extracted sequentially with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and dichloromethane (3×40 mL). The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to provide the desired product which was used in the next step without further purification.
