摘要:
The present invention provides processes for the preparation of substituted naphthylindole derivatives that can be used as inhibitors of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1). In certain embodiments of the invention, the processes involve reactions that include one or more of an Oppenauer oxidation, a Fischer indole synthesis, a methyl ether cleavage, or coupling a substituted methyltetrazole with a substituted naphthol.
