Abstract
An efficient, high yield process for the synthesis of a GnRH antagonist has been developed. We have demonstrated that under boron trifluoride mediation, nosyl aziridines will react with 2-arylindole derivatives to afford β-substituted tryptamines in an enantiospecific process with remarkably high regioselectivity. The scope of the reaction was explored with several 2- substituted nosyl aziridines. The key reaction was developed expressly for the GnRH ...
