Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction of 2-methoxyacetyl chloride and 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanamine in the presence of triethylamine leads to the formation of N-(3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl)-2-methoxyacetamide, which by reduction with borane gives N-(3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl)-2-methoxyethylamine. The latter amine reacts with molar equivalents of benz(cd)indol-2-thiol and mercuric acetate in refluxing ethanol, under the conditions of Example 55 to yield the title compound.
