Reaction Steps

Methanesulfonyl chloride (0.046 mL, 0.586 mmol) is added to a solution of 4-fluoro-5-(2-hydroxymethyl-pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-2-methyl-indole-1-carboxylic acid (3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-amide (180 mg, 0.391 mmol) and Et3N (0.109 mL, 0.782 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) at 0° C. After 10 min, methanol is added, followed by sodium methanesulfinate (798 mg, 7.82 mmol). The resulting mixture is warmed to and stirred at 23° C. for 14 h. The mixture is concentrated and the residue is taken up in DMF (5 mL). The resulting mixture is stirred at 23° C. for 24 h, then partitioned between EtOAc (40 mL) and water (40 mL). The aqueous layer is extracted with EtOAc (2×40 mL). The combined organic layers are washed with brine (20 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The residue is purified by silica gel chromatography (0-100% EtOAc/heptane) to give 4-fluoro-5-(2-methanesulfonylmethyl-pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-2-methyl-indole-1-carboxylic acid (3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-amide.
