Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-[ethyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indole-2-carbothioamide (4.10 g), bromomalonaldehyde (3.55 g) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (30 ml) was stirred at 95° C. for 1.5 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the obtained precipitate was collected by filtration and dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) and methanol (30 ml). After cooling with an ice bath, sodium borohydride (508 mg) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and diluted with ethyl acetate-tetrahydrofuran mixture. The organic layer was washed successively with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtrated, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (2:1) mixture to give the title compound (800 mg, yield 17%) as a solid.
