Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-{1-benzyl-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-indol-3-yl}-2-oxoacetate was prepared from 1-benzyl-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-indole (1.07 g, 2.56 mmol), oxalyl chloride (1.3 mL, 15 mmol), and ethanol (6 mL) following the procedure described in Step 3 of Example 1. Purification by HPLC (reverse phase column) using 85% acetonitrile and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in water as the mobile phase yielded the title compound as a light yellow solid (0.746 g, 56%). 1HNMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 8.8 (s, 1H), 8.5 (s, 1H), 8.3 (s, 2H), 8.1 (s, 1H), 7.75 (s, 2H), 7.25-7.4 (m, 5H), 5.65 (s, 2H), 4.35 (q, 2H, J=7.5 Hz), and 1.35 ppm (t, 3H, J=7.5 Hz).
