2,4-Dichlorobenzyl iodide → HCID 10131732, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Silver oxide (28.09 g) is added to a dioxane (200 ml) solution of 5-methoxycarbonylindole (17.52 g) and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl iodide (34.49 g), and stirred under reflux for 6.5 hours. The insoluble is removed through filtration, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting oily residue is purified through silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1), and recrystallized from hexane/ethyl acetate to obtain 3-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-5-methoxycarbonylindole (46) (5.49 g).
