Water → (1-(2-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl)-1H-indol-5-yl)(4-(4-chlorophenoxy)piperidin-1-yl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (4-(4-chlorophenoxy)piperidin-1-yl)(1H-indol-5-yl)methanone (30 mg, 0.085 mmol, Step-1 of Example 353) and sodium hydride (60% in oil, 4 mg, 0.17 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1.5 mL) was added (2-bromoethoxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (24 mg, 0.10 mmol) at room temperature. After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, the mixture was poured into water (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (20 mL), and dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent, the residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (NH-gel, eluting with ethyl acetate) to give 43 mg (>99% yield) of (1-(2-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl)-1H-indol-5-yl)(4-(4-chlorophenoxy)piperidin-1-yl)methanone as orange oil. This material was treated with 2M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (0.4 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (1.5 mL) at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was neutralized by saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent, the residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (NH-gel, eluting with ethyl acetate) and then preparative LC-MS to give 7.1 mg (18% yield) of the title compound.
