1-Adamantaneacetic acid → HCID 9797873, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-adamantaneacetic acid (0.30 g) in dichloromethane (10 ml) were added 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.19 g) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.30 g). The reaction mixture was stirred for 0.5 hour before addition of 5-amino-2,3-dimethylindole (0.25 g). Stirring was then continued overnight at ambient temperature. The next day the reaction mixture was washed with dilute hydrochloric acid, water and brine, dried over sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) and finally concentrated under reduced pressure to leave a residue. Purification of the residue by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 40% ethyl acetate in isohexanes, gawe the title compound as a white solid (0.14 g).
