Morpholine → HCID 59441895, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(methyloxy)-6-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole (1.0 g, 5.15 mmol) and polymer-bound diisopropyl ethylamine (4.20 g, 15.46 mmol) in dichloromethane (200 mL) was added acryloyl chloride (0.51 g, 5.67 mmol) via a dropwise addition. After stirring overnight at rt, the solids were removed by vacuum filtration and washed with dichloromethane. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and stored under vacuum for several hours. A portion of the crude mixture (0.4 g, 1.61 mmol) was redissolved in absolute ethanol (25 mL) and to this was added morpholine (0.41 g, 4.84 mmol). After heating at 60° C. for 3 hr, the reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure and solids were recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexanes to provide 5-(methyloxy)-1-[3-(4-morpholinyl)propanoyl]-6-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole (0.44 g, 54%). ESIMS (M+H)+=336.
