Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.00 gm (5.74 mMol) 5-amino-3-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-1H-indole in 50.0 mL dichloromethane were added 1.63 gm (20.7 mMol) pyridine and the solution was cooled to 0° C. To this cooled solution were then added dropwise a solution of 2.23 gm (12.6 mMol) benzenesulfonyl chloride in 50 mL dichloromethane. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm gradually to ambient. After 24 hours the reaction mixture was washed with 100 mL water and the remaining organics concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was suspended in water and the pH adjusted to 14 with sodium hydroxide. The aqueous phase was then extracted well with dichloromethane. The organic phase was washed sequentially with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The aqueous phases were combined and the pH adjusted to 10 by the addition of acid and extracted again with 3:1 chloroform:isopropanol. These organic extracts were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The combined residues were subjected to flash chromtography, eluting with a gradient system of 100:10:0.5 to 100:11:0.5 dichloromethane:methanol:ammonium hydroxide, giving 0.83 gm (39.1%) of the title compound as a white powder.
