1-Hydroxybenzotriazole → 7-Methyl-5-{[6-(methylsulfonyl)pyridin-3-yl]oxy}-2-{5-[2-(1-oxidothiomorpholin-4-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl}-1H-indole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of thiomorpholine 1-oxide hydrochloride (140 mg) and triethylamine (0.125 mL) in N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL) were added [2-(7-methyl-5-{[6-(methylsulfonyl)pyridin-3-yl]oxy}-1H-indol-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-yl]acetic acid (200 mg), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (121 mg) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (172 mg) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred under ice-cooling and then at room temperature for 15 hr. Water was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:methanol=100:0 to 75:25, volume ratio), and the obtained pale-yellow crystals were recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give the title compound (104 mg, yield 42%) as colorless crystals.
