Sodium hydride → 5-(1-Benzyl-3-carbamoylmethyl-2-methyl-1H-indol-6-yloxy)-pentanoic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the procedure in Example 33, 147 mg (0.5 mmol) of 6-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-acetamide was reacted with 20 mg (0.5 mmol) of 60% NaH/mineral oil and 0.08 mL (0.05 mmol) of ethyl 5-bromovalerate. After chromatography on silica (eluting first with 50% EtOAc/hexane, then EtOAc) and crystallization from MeOH/CH2Cl2 there was obtained 150 mg (71% yield) of 5-[[3-(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)-2-methyl-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indol-6-yl]oxy]pentanoic acid ethyl ester, mp, 123-135° C.
