Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-fluoro-1H-indol-4-amine (5 g, 0.033 mol), 4-chlorobenzyl chloride (5.55 g, 0.035 mol) and sodium hydroxide (1.32 g, 0.033 mol) was heated at 60° C. for 3 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in EA (150 mL) and water (70 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EA and washed with brine (100 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (PE:EA=8:1) to afford the title compound. LC/MS m/z=275.1 [M+H]+.
