Reaction Steps

(±)-tert-Butyl 4-(1-cyano-2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-5-methoxy-7-methyl-1H-indole-1-carboxylate (Example 155-C) (1.1 g, 3.07 mmol) was dissolved in acetone (6.14 ml) and then added iodomethane (0.576 ml, 9.21 mmol) followed by potassium carbonate (0.636 g, 4.60 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The reaction was then cooled in an ice bath and quenched with a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride and diluted with DCM. The layers were separated and the organic layer was dried and concentrated to obtain the title compound. MS (ESI+) m/z 373.4 (M+H).
