Reaction Steps

To 6-methoxy-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-5-ol (Intermediate 15, 2.0 g, 6.6 mmol), 1,1′-azobis(N,N-dimethylformamide) (2.3 g, 13 mmol), triphenylphosphine (3.5 g, 13 mmol), tert-butyl N-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)carbamate (2.1 g, 13 mmol) and DCM (40 mL) were added. The mixture was heated at 150° C. for 20 minutes in a microwave heater. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and TFA (30 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using 5% MeOH in DCM as the eluent to afford the title compound (2.53 g) MS m/z 347 [M+H]+.
