Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A flask is charged with 2-(5-benzyloxy-pyridin-3-yl)-6-chloro-1H-indole (Example 98, 0.435 g, 1.29 mmol), dimethyl carbonate (0.328 mL, 3.89 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.098 g, 0.714 mmol) and DMF (3 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred at 150° C. overnight. It is then cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. The organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo, to give a residue which is purified by flash chromatography (heptane-ethyl acetate, 1:1) to afford 2-(5-benzyloxy-pyridin-3-yl)-6-chloro-1-methyl-1H-indole as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) δ ppm 3.70 (s, 3H), 5.31 (s, 2H), 6.67 (d, J=0.8 Hz, 1H), 7.10 (dd, J=8.3, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.35-7.40 (m, 1H), 7.41-7.47 (m, 2H), 7.49-7.55 (m, 3H), 7.57 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.64 (dd, J=2.5, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 8.35 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 8.39 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 1H); HRMS (ESI) m/z 349.1108 [(M+H)+ Calcd for C21H18ClN2O: 349.1108].
