Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 5-[3-(methylsulfonyl)propoxy]-7-[(pyridin-2-ylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (3.50 g), potassium carbonate (1.01 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) was added methyl iodide (1.14 g) at 0° C., and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate-tetrahydrofuran. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The obtained residue was subjected to basic silica gel column chromatography, and eluted with hexane-ethyl acetate (1:1-1:4, volume ratio) to give the title compound (2.70 g, yield 75%) as colorless crystals. The crystals were recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give colorless prism crystals. melting point 176-177° C.
