Diisopropylethylamine → (2R)-N,N-dimethyl-1-[5-(methyloxy)-6-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-1-yl]-1-oxo-2-propanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(methyloxy)-6-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole hydrogen chloride (2 g, 8.67 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) was added N,N-dimethyl-D-alanine (1.524 g, 13.01 mmol), PyBOP (13.54 g, 26.0 mmol), and DIPEA (15.14 mL, 87 mmol). After stirring overnight at rt, the solvent was removed and the residue was suspended in dichloromethane (150 mL), washed with water (100 mL), concentrated on the rotovap, and purified by column chromatography (DCM to 5% MeOH/DCM) to provide 1-[(2R)-N,N-dimethyl-1-[5-(methyloxy)-6-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-1-yl]-1-oxo-2-propanamine (2.2 g, 86%). ESIMS (M+H)+=294.
