Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (ca 60%, 240 mg, 6.3 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added dropwise a solution of triethyl phosphonoacetate (1.33 g, 5.9 mmol) in THF (5 mL) at 0° C. After stirring at room temperature for 0.5 hour, a solution of 7-fluoro-1-tos yl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (J. Med. Chem., 48 (19), 6023-6034 (2005)) (1.10 g, 3.48 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added to the mixture at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 hour and at room temperature for 19 hours. The mixture was poured into water, extracted with dichloromethane, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residual solid was washed with ethyl acetate to give 864 mg (65% yield) of the title compound as a white solid:
