Reaction Steps

3-Trifluoromethylbenzenesulphonyl chloride (45.1 mg, 0.18 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) was added to a mixture of crude 2-fluoro-4-[(4-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-6-carbonyl)-amino]-benzoic acid ethyl ester (60 mg, 0.24 mmol, 1 equiv.) and pyridine (0.11 mL, 1.34 mmol, 8 equiv.) in dichloromethane (2 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The solvent was removed under a stream of N2 and the residue purified by preparative HPLC to afford 2-fluoro-4-{[4-methoxy-1-(3-trifluoromethyl-benzenesulfonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-6-carbonyl]-amino}-benzoic acid ethyl ester, 14.4 mg (33% yield). LC @215 nm; Rt 1.73: 100%, m/z (ES+): 567 (M+H+.).
