Reaction Steps

1-(2-Chloroethyl)-3-[4-(3-cyano-1-ethyl-6-methoxy-1H-indol-2-ylethynyl)-phenyl]urea (55 mg, 0.13 mmol), prepared as in Example 1AC, is combined with K2CO3 (50 mg, 0.36 mmol) and DMF (550 μL). This mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted in EtOAc, and is washed with H2O, and then with brine. The organic layer is dried and concentrated. Purification by silica chromatography (10-50%, EtOAc/CH2Cl2) yields 1-ethyl-6-methoxy-2-[4-(2-oxo-imidazolidin-1-yl)-phenylethynyl]-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (47 mg, 94%) as a white solid.
