Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 6-mercaptopicolinate 6 (3.15 g, crude) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) under inert atmosphere was added NCS (2.49 g, 18.63 mmol) at RT and stirred for 1 h. To this, indole 5 (5.6 g, 18.47 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) was added at RT and stirred for 16 h. After completion of the reaction (TLC), the reaction mixture was diluted CH2Cl2 (100 mL) washed with water (3×100 mL). The organic extract was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude. The crude was purified (silica gel column chromatography; 10% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford 9 (2.8 g, 32%) as a pale brown solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.79 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (d, J=10.5 Hz, 2H), 7.51 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.19 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.10-7.07 (m, 1H), 6.78 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 4.28 (q, 2H), 4.00 (s, 3H), 1.75-1.69 (m, 1H), 1.58 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 1.09-1.08 (m, 2H), 0.87-0.84 (m, 2H); LC-MS: 98.4%; m/z 471.4 (M+H+); (column; X-select CSH C-18, (50×3.0 mm, 3.5 μm); RT 4.25 min. 5.0 mM NH4OAc (Aq): ACN; 0.8 mL/min); HPLC: 98.1%; (column: Acquity BEH C-18 (50×2.1 mm, 1.7μ); RT 3.02 min. ACN: 0.025% TFA (aq); 0.5 mL/min).
