FeCl3 catalyzed an isomerization-free Friedel-Crafts sulfonylation between 1-naphthalenesulfonyl chloride and halobenzenes. The coupled halide was then displaced using 35% hydrazine in DMSO to provide the Fischer indole precursor. Pure 5-chloro-2-pentanone was the key for a successful Grandberg modification of Fischer indole synthesis that effectively constructed both the indole core and side chain of the target molecule. The development of these methods enabled a rapid preparation of kilogram quantities of PHA-565272A.

The kinetics of the Friedel-Crafts reaction of naphthalene with para-substituted benzenesulphonyl chlorides have been investigated.The rate constants for equations (i) (formation of the sulphonyl cation) and (ii) (sulphone formation) were determined separately.The effect of the para-substituents on k1 was XC6H4SO2Cl + AlCl3 XC6H4SO2+*AlCl4- , XC6H4SO24*AlCl4- + C10H8 XC6H4SO2C10H7*AlCl3 + HCl well expressed by Yukawa-Tsuno equation, log(k1X/K1H)= ρ1(Δ?R(+))> where ρ1= -2.7 and γ1= 0.4.On the other hand, the effect of the para-substituents on k3(=k1k2/k-1) was expressed by the Brown-Okamoto equation, log(k3X/k3H)= ρ3?+ where ρ3= -2.8.Thus, the electron-donating para-substituents gave the greater reaction rates.We concluded that the sulphonyl cation gives large negative ρ values as a result of its high reactivity, and that its low selectivity for α-attack is due to a steric effect.These kinetic results have been rationalised in terms of bifunctional acid-base catalysis in phenylsulphonnylation.
