Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of indoline (0.20 g, 1.68 mmol) in methanol (15 ml) were added sequentially imidazole-2-carboxaldehyde (0.24 g, 2.52 mmol), zinc chloride (0.92 g, 6.71 mmol) and sodium cyanoborohydride (0.32 g, 5.03 mmol). The reaction mixture was shaken at 50° C. for 16 hours, then triethylamine (0.5 ml) was added and the mixture shaken for a further 5 min. The resulting suspension was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (eluant: methanol/dichloromethane gradient) to yield the title compound as an off-white solid (0.17 g, 52%); MS (ISP): 200.3 ([M+H]+).
