Reaction Steps

7H-Indolo[2,1-a][2]benzazepine-10-carboxamide, 13-cyclohexyl-N-[(dimethylamino)sulfonyl]-3-methoxy-6-(4-morpholinylsulfonyl)-. To a solution of 7H-Indolo[2,1-a][2]benzazepine-10-carboxylic acid, 13-cyclohexyl-3-methoxy-6-(4-morpholinylsulfonyl)-, methyl ester (60 mg, 0.11 mmol) in 1:1 MeOH/THF (2.0 mL) was added 1M NaOH (2.0 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at 22° C. for 16 hr. 1M HCl (15 mL) was added and the aqueous layer was extracted with CHCl3 (2×15 mL). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a white solid. This solid was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL) and 2M oxalyl chloride (1.0 mL) in CH2Cl2 was added. This solution was stirred at 22° C. for 2 hr and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting yellow oil was redissolved in CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL); BEMP (60 mg, 0.22 mmol) and dimethylsulfamide (68 mg, 0.55 mmol) were added. The resulting mixture was allowed to stir at 22° C. for 6 hr. 1M HCl (15 mL) was added and the aqueous layer was extracted with CHCl3 (2×30 mL). The organic phase was concentrated under reduced pressure. This oil was purified by reverse-phase prep HPLC to afford the title compound (50 mg, 71%) as a yellow paste.
