Reaction Steps

A round bottomed flask was charged with 6-fluoro-5-(2′-hydroxybiphenyl-4-yl)-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (20 mg, 0.60 mmol), acetonitrile, (1.0 mL), t-butanol (1.0 mL) and cooled to 0° C. 2-methyl-2-butene (0.49 mL, 4.6 mmol) was then added. In a separate flask, sodium chlorite (102 mg, 1.20 mmol) and NaH2PO4 (170 mg, 1.23 mmol) were dissolved in water (1 mL) then added to the reaction. The reaction was sealed and reacted at room temperature for 15 h. Ethyl acetate and water were added and the layers were separated. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Reverse phase HPLC was then used to provide the title compound (8.4 mg, 40%). MS (ES−) 346.1 (M−H)−. Retention time: 1.86 min Waters Xbridge dC18 5 um 4.6×50 mm, 95% H2O/5% MeCN linear to 5% H2O/95% MeCN over 4.0 min, HOLD at 5% H2O/95% MeCN to 5.0 min. (0.03% NH4OH). Flow: 2.0 mL/min.
