1-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-ylmethyl)-4-hydroxy-2-propyl-1H-indole (794 mg, 2.8 mmol) was alkylated by treating with 0.22 mL (2.3 mmol) of methyl bromoacetate and 93 mg (2.3 mmol) of 60% NaH/mineral oil in DMF as described in Example 1, Part E. The product was purified by chromatography over silica gel eluting with 20% EtOAc/hexane, to give 533 mg (56% yield) of [[1-([1,1'-biphenyl]-2-ylmethyl)-2-propyl-1H-indol-4-yl]oxy]acetic acid methyl ester.
