A highly potent and selective Rho-kinase inhibitor containing a 7-azaindole moiety has been developed at Bayer Schering Pharma. Herein we disclose details of a significantly improved synthesis of the compound in 8.2% overall yield. Key aspects include cost and safety considerations and the uncommon use of a trifluoromethyl group with controllable reactivity as a masked methyl group.
