Thionyl Chloride → HCID 58086051, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To aluminum trichloride (0.524 g, 0.00393 mol) and dichloromethane (20 mL, 0.3 mol) under an atmosphere of nitrogen was added 5-bromo-7-azaindole (67, 0.155 g, 0.000787 mol) in dichloromethane. To 5-(3-butylureido)-2-fluorobenzoic acid (588, 0.200 g, 0.000787 mol) was added 4 mL of dichloromethane (4 mL) followed by thionyl chloride (69 μL, 0.00094 mol) and a drop of N,N-dimethylformamide. After 1 hour, the reaction remained a suspension so additional thionyl chloride was added along with tetrahydrofuran. The reaction remained a suspension, so was placed in a 50° C. oil bath. After another hour, the reaction was still a suspension, and so was left to react at 50° C. overnight. The reaction had become a clear solution. All volatiles were removed under vacuum, then the residue dissolved in dichloromethane and added to the 5-bromo-7-azaindole and aluminum trichloride suspension. The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 4.5 hours, followed by the addition of water and extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a gradient of methanol (0 to 10%) in dichloromethane to give the compound (P-1637, 14 mg, 4%).
