Epichlorohydrin → HCID 57291601, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

First 3.46 g of potassium carbonate and then 10.5 ml of epichlorohydrin were added to a solution of 4 g of 1-[2-hydroxyphenyl]-3-(1H-indol-4-yl)-2-propen-1-one in 80 ml of acetone and the mixture was refluxed for 50 hours under an inert atmosphere and was filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue was chromatographed over silica. Elution with a 95-5 dichloromethane-ethyl acetate mixture yielded 2.26 g of 1-[2-[(2-oxiranyl)-methoxy]-phenyl]-3-(1H-indol-4-yl)-2-propen-1-one.
