Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Aminophenylethynyl)-1-ethyl-6-methoxy-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (50 mg, 0.16 mmol), prepared as described by the method of Example 1H, is dissolved in pyridine (550 μL) at room temperature. Methanesulfonyl chloride (17 μL, 0.21 mmol) is added dropwise. This is stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture is then diluted in ethyl acetate and is washed with aqueous HCl, followed by brine. The organic layer is dried and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (9/1, CH2Cl2/EtOAc) yields N-[4-(3-cyano-1-ethyl-6-methoxy-1H-indol-2-ylethynyl)-phenyl]-methanesulfonamide (58 mg, 92%) as an off-white solid.
