Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl {(1S)-5-[3-(4-cyano-2-propylphenoxy)propoxy]-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yl}acetate (Example 143, 1.2 g, 2.9 mmol) in DMF (anhydrous, 15 mL) under argon at rt was passed H2S gas at a moderate rate for 20 min. Then, a solution of diethylamine (0.3 g, 4.3 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was added in one portion, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 3 h. Upon completion, the reaction was cooled to rt and argon was passed through the reaction mixture for 1 h to remove residual H2S. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue purified by silica gel flash chromatography (EtOAc/Hexane (v/v)=1:1) to give 0.9 g (76%) of the title compound as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD): δ 0.94 (t, 3H), 1.31 (t, 3H), 1.52-1.64 (m, 2H), 1.65-1.80 (m, 1H), 2.20-2.44 (m, 4H), 2.58-2.95 (m, 5H), 3.38-3.61 (m, 1H), 4.16-4.21 (m, 4H), 4.26 (t, 2H), 6.69 (d, 1H), 6.80 (s, 1H), 6.95 (d, 1H), 7.09 (d, 1H), 7.79 (d, 1H), 7.84 (s, 1H).
