Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% suspension in mineral oil, 40 mg, 1 mmol) was added to a solution of 1-{3-[5-chloro-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-1-oxopropyl}-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (Description 33, 270 mg, 0.53 mmol) in dimethylformamide (10 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. Iodomethane (165 μl, 376 mg, 2.65 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Water (100 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with ether (2×40 mL). The combined organic fractions were washed with water (3×40 mL) and brine (40 mL), dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a beige foam. 1H NMR (360 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.60 (1H, d, J 1.7 Hz), 7.48 (2H, d, J 8.4 Hz), 7.32 (2H, d, J 8.4 Hz), 7.24 (1H, d, J 8.5 Hz), 7.20 (1H, dd, J 8.5, 1.7 Hz), 7.02 (1H, t, J 7.8 Hz), 6.94-6.82 (3H, m), 3.86 (3H, s), 3.75 (2H, t, J 5.0 Hz), 3.54 (3H, s), 3.40 (2H, t, J 5.0 Hz), 3.02 (2H, t, J 8.1 Hz), 2.95 (2H, t, J 5.0 Hz), 2.80 (2H, t, J 5.0 Hz), and 2.55 (2H, t, J 8.1 Hz). m/z (ES+) 522, 524 (M+1).
