Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(4-aminophenyl)-6-difluoromethoxy-1-ethyl-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (200 mg, 0.611 mmol) and methyl chloroformate (95 μL, 1.23 mmol) in ethyl acetate (2 mL) is treated with 2 M aqueous potassium carbonate solution (0.370 mL, 0.74 mmol), and the resulting mixture is stirred vigorously overnight. Saturated brine solution (1 mL) is added, and the mixture is stirred for 10 minutes. The organic layer is removed, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The resulting solid is triturated with 1/1 ether-hexane, collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to afford the title product as a white solid.
