Example 4
To a mixture of (±)-ethyl 3-[3-(acetylsulfamoylamino)-1-[(4,5-dichloro-1-methyl-indole-2-carbonyl)amino]propyl]benzoate (110 mg, 193 umol, synthesized via Method 1 with acid A and amine M) in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) and water (2 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (32.4 mg, 772 umol) and the mixture was stirred at rt for 12 hrs. On completion, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by prep-HPLC (condition: 0.225% FA-ACN; column: Phenomenex Synergi C18 150*25*10 um) to give the title compound. LCMS: (ES+) m/z (M+H)+=541.1, tR=0.858. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ=9.15 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 8.04 (s, 1H), 7.83 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.69-7.53 (m, 3H), 7.52-7.42 (m, 2H), 7.33 (s, 1H), 5.22-5.08 (m, 1H), 3.96 (s, 3H), 2.94 (br. s., 2H), 2.15-2.05 (m, 1H), 2.04-1.95 (m, 1H), 1.92 (s, 3H).
