General procedure for the synthesis of 3-(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-indole from indole and 2,4-dichloropyrimidine: 3-(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-indole (1 g, 4.37 mmol), 2-(difluoromethoxy)-4-fluoro-5-nitroaniline (810 mg, 4.37 mmol), and p-toluenesulfonic acid (750 mg, 4.37 mmol) were dissolved in 2-pentanol (40 mL). The reaction mixture was heated and stirred at 110 °C for 3 hours. The progress of the reaction was monitored by LCMS and after confirming the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was naturally cooled to room temperature and a dark colored solid was precipitated. The solid was collected by filtration and the filter cake was washed sequentially with methanol and methyl tert-butyl ether to give 3-(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-indole (1.3 g, 79% yield).
