Reaction Steps

The 4-methoxybenzoindoline 25 was synthesized as described above in Example 6. Compound 25 was alkylated by the general amino group alkylation procedure described in Example 3 employing ethyl iodide as the aklating agent to give the N-ethyl-3,3-dimethyl-4-methoxybenzoindoline intermediate 28 (1HNMR: CD3Cl d 7.90 (d, 1 H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.68 (d, 1 H, J=8.1 Hz), 7.32 (bt, 1 H, J=7.5 Hz), 7.22 (bt, 1 H, J=6.9 Hz), 6.69 (s, 1 H), 3.83 (s, 3 H), 3.52 (q, 2 H J=7.5 Hz), 3.38 (s, 2 H), 1.46 (s, 6 H), 1.27 (t, 3 H, J=7.5 Hz). Subsequent methoxy group deprotection of compound 28 by the general boron tribrornide procedure described in Example 1 yielded the N-thyl-3,3-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-benzoindoline 29.
