Phenethyl Isothiocyanate → 1-(1H-indol-5-ylmethyl)-3-phenethylthiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

(1H-indol-5-yl)methylamine (8.5 mg) prepared in Step 1 was dissolved in dimethylformamide (100 μl) and the solution was diluted with dichloromethane (1 ml). To the diluted solution was added phenethylisothiocyanate (40 μl) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the obtained residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (2/3) to yield 1-(1H-indol-5-ylmethyl)-3-phenethylthiourea (15 mg, 83%).
