Methylamine → [1,1-dimethyl-2-(7-methylcarbamoylmethoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [3-(2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-methyl-propyl)-1H-indol-7-yloxy]acetic acid (480 mg, 1.32 mmol) in dimethylformamide (5.0 mL) is added methyl amine (1.52 mL, 1.0 M in tetrahydrofuran, 1.52 mmol) and Bop reagents (670 mg, 1.52 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours before evaporation to dryness. The resulting residue is chromatographed (30% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 500 mg of [1,1-dimethyl-2-(7-methylcarbamoylmethoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (75%). FDMS m/e=375.1 (M++1).
