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.
