Trifluoroacetic acid → 3-[1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-cyclopropylethyl]-7-[(methylsulfanyl)methyl]-1H-indole

Participants

Reaction Steps

600 mg (3.05 mmol) of the compound from Example 138A and 0.28 ml (3.66 mmol) of trifluoroacetic acid were added to 541 mg (3.05 mmol) of the compound from Example 8A in 4 ml of dichloromethane. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 30 min, and the crude product was then purified three times by preparative HPLC (mobile phase: acetonitrile/water gradient) and once by flash chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 10/1). 441 mg (41% of theory) of the title compound were obtained.
