Reaction Steps

The suspension of 0.15 g (0.36 mmol) (4,4-difluoro-piperidin-1-yl)-[5-(4-isopropyl-piperazine-1-carbonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]-methanone (example 32), 72 μL (76 mg, 0.72 mmol) benzylalcohol and 173 mg (0.72 mmol) (triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetonitrile in 2 mL toluene was stirred for 3 hours under reflux. The volatile components were evaporated at a rotary evaporator and the residue was purified using flash chromatography on silica gel with dichloromethane:methanol (19:1 v/v) as eluant to give 0.11 g (63%) of the desired compound as a light brown foam.
