Participants

Reaction Steps

Mix (±)-N-(7-cyano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-cyclopenta[b]indol-2-yl)-isobutyramide (6.28 g, 18.8 mmol), 6-fluoro-2-bromomethylpyridine (3.93 g, 20.7 mmol), and Cs2CO3 (12.25 g, 37.6 mmol) in DMF (25 mL). Heat the reaction at 50° C. for 18 h. Cool, dilute with EtOAc, and wash with water (3×200 mL). Dry the organic layer (MgSO4) and concentrate to give 7.1 g crude material. Purify by silica gel chromatography (5-20% EtOAc/CH2Cl2). Obtain 4.0 g (56%) yellow-tan solid. MS (m/z): 377 (M+1), 375 (M−1).
