Reaction Steps

Ethyl 3-{4-[(hydroxyamino)(imino)methyl]-1H-indol-1-yl}propanoate (D57) (150 mg) in DMF (2.5 ml) was added to a solution of 5-chloro-6-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (D61) (118 mg), HOBT (81 mg) and EDCI (114 mg) which had been stirring at RT for 10 minutes in DMF (2.5 ml). The resultant mixture was stirred at RT for 2 hours then heated at 80° C. for three days. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and extracted from H2O (25 ml) with EtOAc (2×25 ml). The combined organics were evaporated and the residue stirred in EtOH/2 M aq. NaOH (1:1 mixture, 20 ml) at 50° C. for 2 hours. The EtOH was evaporated and the precipitate removed by filtration. This was acidified then purified by MDAP to give the title compound (48 mg) as an off white solid. δH (d6-DMSO, 400 MHz): 1.40 (6H, d), 2.80 (2H, t), 4.50 (2H, t), 5.46 (1H, septet), 7.08 (1H, d), 7.36 (1H, apparent t), 7.60 (1H, d), 7.82 (1H, d), 7.95 (1H, d), 8.60 (1H, d), 8.97 (1H, d). MS (ES−): C21H1935ClN4O4 requires 426; found 425 (M−H+).
