Reaktionsschritte

3-Indolebutyric acid (1.3 g, 6.5 mmole), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (1.1 g, 7.8 mmole) and 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide (2.4 ml, 15.6 mmole) were combined in 100 ml of DMF and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. To this was added dropwise (S)-7-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-methanamine hydrochloride (1.5 g, 6.5 mmole) in 50 ml of DMF and the mixture was further stirred for 24 hours. The solvent was removed and replaced with dichloromethane. The mixture was then washed with H2O. The separated organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuum. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column using ethyl acetate as the eluant. Evaporation of product fractions gave 1.5 g (61%) of the desired product, (S)-(7-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-2-ylmethyl)-4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-butanamide, as a foam.
