Methyl iodide → 3-(2,5-Dichloropyrimidin-4-yl)-1-methyl-1H-indole

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (0.136 g, 3.41 mmol) and iodomethane (0.533 ml, 8.52 mmol) were added to a flask charged with 3-(2,5-dichloropyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-indole (INTERMEDIATE 2) (0.750 g, 2.84 mmol) and THF (18.40 ml). The reaction was stirred at RT for 2 h. The reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude solid obtained was washed with water and 3 mL of THF. The solid was dried under high vacuum to give the title product (0.564 g, 71.4%). m/z 278.
