Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-fluoro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1H-indole (Intermediate 5; 500 mg; 1.46 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) was added tert-butyl 2-bromoethylcarbamate (658 mg; 2.94 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (1.43 g; 4.39 mmol) and catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium iodide (107 mg; 0.29 mmol) under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred at 85° C. for 24 hours. Most of DMF was removed and the residue was diluted with EtOAc (100 mL), washed with water (50 ml×3), brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and purified by reversed phase flash chromatography to afford 500 mg (70%) of the title compound as a yellow solid.
