Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Bromoveratrole (5.7 g, 26 mmol), 6-chloroindole-2-carboxylic acid morpholide (1.7 g, 6.5 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.7 g), copper(I) bromide (0.2 g) in a mixture of pyridine (2 ml) and nitrobenzene was stirred at 140° C. for 14 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was applied onto a flash chromatography column (silica gel, 140 g), Elution with toluene, toluene/acetone [9:1] and toluene/acetone [8:2] (500 ml each) gave 6-chloro-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)indole-2-carboxylic acid morpholide as brown oil. Yield: 2.1 g (81% of theoretical) Rf : 0.54 (toluene/acetone, 7:3). The H-NMR spectra was consistent with the assigned structure.
