Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Aminophenylethynyl)-1-ethyl-6-methoxy-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (50 mg, 0.16 mmol), prepared as described by the method of Example 1H, was dissolved in pyridine (550 μL) at room temperature. Methanesulfonyl chloride (17 μL, 0.21 mmol) was added dropwise. This was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then diluted in ethyl acetate and was washed with aqueous HCl, followed by brine. The organic layer was dried and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (9/1, CH2Cl2/EtOAc) yielded N-[4-(3-cyano-1-ethyl-6-methoxy-1H-indol-2-ylethynyl)-phenyl]-methanesulfonamide (58 mg, 92%) as an off-white solid.
