Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(1-Acetyl-5-chloromethyl-4,6-dimethylindolin-7-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propanamide (2.0 g) was dissolved in CHCl3 (40 ml) and (CH3)2NH. HCl (3.5 g) and K2CO3 (11.8 g) were added, which was followed by stirring at room temperature for 4 hr. CHCl3 (300 ml) was added, and the mixture was washed successively with 2N-hydrochloric acid, 2N aqueous NaOH and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. CHCl3 was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: CHCl3/MeOH=10/1−1/1) to give 700 mg of N-(1-acetyl-5-dimethylaminomethyl-4,6-dimethylindolin-7-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropanamide.
