The reaction mixture was then cooled to 10 C. and trifluoroacetic acid (63.13 mL, 0.8 m) was added dropwise followed by triethyl silane (174.5 mL, 1.09 m). Upon addition, the temperature was allowed to rise to rt, after which it was stirred for a further 12 h. Dichloromethane (200 mL) was then added and the reaction mixture was washed successively with with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution and brine. The organic layer dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The resultant residuce was purified by flash chromatography on silica (60-120) using hexane-ethyl acetate (9.5:0.5) mixture as eluant. Homogeneous fractions were combined and evaporated to give 60 g of the desired product (85%). Analytical data on this material was consistant with that observed with a sample prepared by the alternative route described above. | |

[00259] To methyl lH-indole-6-carboxylate (0.5 g, 2.85 mmol) and 4-(2- chloroethyl)morpholine (0.585 g, 3.13 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (5 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion, 0.342 g, 8.55 mmol) at 0 0C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 min. and heated at 50 0C for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and quenched by the slow addition of water (2 mL). The residue was diluted with water (2 mL), methanol (1 mL) and subjected to reverse phase preparative HPLC (YMC S5 20 x 100 mm, 10 min. run, solvent A: 10% MeOH: 90% H2O: 0.1% TFA, solvent B: 90% MeOH, 10% H2O, 0.1% TFA). The desired fractions were collected, and concentrated using speedVac Plus (SC250DDA) to yield compound a (0.075 g - TFA salt). HPLC retention time (Phenomex Luna 5u C18 ; 4.6 x 30 mm (2 min. gradient); Solvent A = 10% MeOH, 90% H2O, 0.1% TFA; solvent B = 90% MeOH, 10% H2O, 0.1% TFA): 0.87 min. LCMS [M+H]+ 275. |
