Reaction Steps

Ex-37A: To a solution of 4-acetylbenzenesulfonamide (Ex-35A, 0.20 g, 1 mmol) and 2,4-dimethoxy-5-(1-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)benzaldehyde (Ex-15A, 0.30 g, 1 mmol) in DMF (25 ml) was added lithium methoxide (4 ml, 1.0 M in methanol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. It was poured into water (50 ml) and acidified to pH=1 with 3 N HCl. The yellow precipitate was filtered, washed with water, and dried. Crystallization from EtOAc/hexanes gave 4-{3-[2,4-dimethoxy-5-(1-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)phenyl]acryloyl}benzenesulfonamide (0.43 g, 90%) as a yellow solid, mp 148–150° C. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.17 (d, J=16 Hz, 1H), 8.09 (d, J=9 Hz, 2H), 8.01 (d, J=9 Hz, 2H), 7.68 (s, 1H), 7.64 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.47 (d, J=16 Hz, 1H), 7.35 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.22–7.26 (m, 1H), 7.11–7.16 (m, 1H), 6.58 (s, 1H), 6.50 (s, 1H), 4.92 (brs, 2H), 4.02 (s, 3H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 3.58 (s, 3H). MS m/z=477 ([M+H]+, 100%).
