Reaction Steps

A mixture of {2-[7-[(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-5-(trifluoromethoxy)-1H-indol-2-yl]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-yl}acetic acid (410 mg), 1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-ol-ammonia complex (240 mg), N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (310 mg) and N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 15 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed successively with 1N hydrochloric acid, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and saturated brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and eluted with ethyl acetate-methanol (100:0-90:10, volume ratio), and the obtained solid was washed with hexane to give the title compound (260 mg, yield 63%) as brown crystals. The crystals were recrystallized from acetone-hexane to give pale-yellow prism crystals. melting point 239-240° C.
