Procedure: 4.35 g (21 mmol) of ethyl 5-fluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate, 4.29 g (23.1 mmol) of 2-bromo-4,6-dimethylpyridine, 9.36 g (44.1 mmol) of tripotassium phosphate, 0.66 ml (4.2 mmol) of 1,2-dimethylaminocyclohexane, 0.2 g (1.05 mmol) of copper iodide and 21 ml of dry toluene are added to a pressure tube. The tube is closed and the reaction mixture is stirred at 110° C. for 5 days. After this time, the mixture is poured onto a solution of 100 ml of water and the pH of the medium is adjusted to pH 5 by additions of acetic acid. 100 ml of ethyl acetate are added. The organic phase is separated, washed successively with 50 ml of water and 50 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by preparative chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane/ethyl acetate). 5.56 g of expected product are obtained, which product is used as is in the continuation of the synthesis. The tube is closed The organic phase is separated washed successively with 50 ml of water and 50 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution dried over sodium sulfate filtered concentrated under reduced pressure The residue is purified by preparative chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane/ethyl acetate)

Procedure: The ethyl 5-fluoro-1-[2-[(5-methylpyridin-2-yl)oxy]-ethyl]-1H-indole-2-carboxylate intermediate is prepared in a manner similar to the method described in Example 18.1, from ethyl 5-fluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate and 2-(5-methylpyridin-2-yloxy)ethanol prepared in the preceding step. prepared in the preceding step

Conditions: temp:20.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 94 μl (0.657 mmol) of 2-benzyloxyethanol and 50.4 mg (0.438 mmol) of (cyanomethylene)trimethylphosphorane (Tet. Lett., 1996, 37, 2459-2462) are added to a solution of 68 mg (0.329 mmol) of ethyl 5-fluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate in 2 ml of toluene, stirred at 20° C. The reaction mixture is heated at 110° C. for 12 hours and then concentrated under reduced pressure, taken up in 20 ml of ethyl ether, filtered over a celite buffer and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained is purified by preparative HPLC, elution being carried out with a mixture of water, acetonitrile and trifluoroacetic acid. 99 mg of a yellow oil are thus isolated. The reaction mixture is heated at 110° C. for 12 hours concentrated under reduced pressure filtered over a celite buffer and concentrated under reduced pressure The residue obtained is purified by preparative HPLC, elution being carried out with a mixture of water, acetonitrile and trifluoroacetic acid
