Reaction Steps

(+) or (−)-Methyl 2-(1-(5-cyano-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(5-methoxy-7-methyl-1H-indol-4-yl)ethoxy)acetate (tr=3.5 min—from Example 35-B) (54 mg, 0.114 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (2.0 mL). This solution was added to a mixture of acetyl chloride (1.0 mL) in ethanol (20.0 mL) at 0° C. This mixture was gradually warmed to room temperature and stirred for 16 hr. The reaction solution was basified with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the majority of the ethanol was removed in vacuo. The resulting reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. This material was purified using FCC eluting with ethyl acetate/heptane (0-60%) to afford the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 12.89 (br.s., 1H) 11.09 (br. s., 1H) 8.26 (s, 1H) 7.83-8.06 (m, 1H) 7.49-7.73 (m, 1H) 7.38 (t, J=2.78 Hz, 1H) 6.91-6.96 (m, 1H) 6.74 (s, 1H) 3.98-4.36 (m, 2H) 3.73-3.97 (m, 2H) 3.04-3.06 (s, 3H) 2.47-2.50 (s, 3H) 0.97-1.08 (m, 3H) HRMS calcd. for C24H21F3N4O4 (M+H)+ 487.1548. found 487.1576.
