Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 23152428, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1-(3-chloropropyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1H-indole-6-carboxylate (167 mg, 0.344 mmol) in chloroform (1.5 ml) was added trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 hr. The reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give methyl 1-(3-chloropropyl)-3-cyclohexyl-2-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1H-indole-6-carboxylate (135 mg, yield 98%).
