Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 1,3-dihydro-1-(4-morpholinyl)-2H-indol-2-one (301 mg, 1.38 mmole), triethylamine (0.22 ml, 1.52 mmole) , 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (0.15 ml, 1.52 mmole) in methanol (3 ml) was refluxed for 30 minutes. The volatiles were evaporated and the crude product was partitioned between water and dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude red oil was characterized by mass spec., m/e 308 (M+H, 100%) for the aldol/dehydration product. The crude material was immediately dissolved in methanol (10 ml), cooled to 0° C., to which was added sodium borohydride (168 mg). After stirring 30 minutes, normal extractive workup afforded a yellow foam, which was purified by column chromatography using 5% methanol-chloroform. The product was recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate to give 259 mg of a powder, m.p. 108°-110° C. Anal (C18H19N3O2): C,H,N.
