Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl-({methyl-[2-(6-nitro-indol-1-yl)-2-oxo-ethyl]-carbamoyl}-methyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (12.4 g, 30.6 mmol), SnCl2.2H2O (34.5 g, 153.2 mmol) and DIEA (74.8 mL, 429 mmol) in ethanol (112 mL) was heated to 70° C. for 3 h. Water and EtOAc were added and the mixture was filtered through a short plug of Celite. The organic layer was separated, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to yield ({[2-(6-Amino-indol-1-yl)-2-oxo-ethyl]-methyl-carbamoyl}-methyl)-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (B-26) (11.4 g, quant.). HPLC ret. time 2.11 min, 10-99% CH3CN, 5 min run; ESI-MS 375.3 m/z (MH+).
