A solution of the crude hydrochloride salt and 4-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (123 mg, 0.64 mmol) in DMF (2.5 mL) was placed under an atmosphere of N2 and cooled to 0 °C. This pale yellow solution was successively treated with HATU (245 mg, 0.64 mmol) and N-methylmorpholine (0.14 mL, 1.29 mmol) turning a brighter color. After 30 min, the reaction was quenched with 1:1 ice/sat NaHCO3 (25 mL) and extracted three times with ethyl acetate (20 mL). The combined organics were washed once with brine (30 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give a yellow syrup. This material was purified by LC (30 g 230–400 SiO2, 4% methanol/chloroform) to afford 167 mg (58%) of the title compound as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 11.59 (s, 1H), 8.62 (d, J = 8 Hz, 1H), 8.44 (d, J = 4 Hz, 1H), 7.65 (s, 1H), 7.38 (s, 1H), 7.10 (t, J = 8 Hz, 1H), 7.02 (d, J = 8 Hz, 1H), 6.51 (d, J = 8 Hz, 1H), 4.60 (d, J = 16 Hz, 1H), 4.58 (d, J = 16 Hz, 1H), 4.46 (m, 2H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 3.11 (m, 2H), 2.29 (m, 1H), 2.11 (m, 1H), 1.99 (m, 1H), 1.76–1.54 (m, 5H), 0.95 (d, J = 8 Hz, 3H), 0.9 (d, J = 8 Hz, 3H); MS (ESI+) for C24H31ClN4O5m/z 491.1 (M + H)+; HRMS (ESI+) calcd for C24H31ClN4O5+H1 491.2056, found 491.2058.
