Reaction Steps

This compound was prepared following the procedure described in example 19 (part C) starting with 1.48 mmol (4.48 mmol) of 1-(5-chloro-thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-3-piperidin-4-yl-1H-indole and 1.0 g (8.8 mmol) of 3-bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester. The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel affording 0.29 g (14% of yield) of the pure acid.
