Participants

Reaction Steps

Carbonyldiimidazole (11 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-(1H-indol-3-ylsulfanyl)benzoic acid (Hamel, P.; Girard, M.; Tsou, N. N.; J. Heterocycl. Chem. 36, 1999, 643-652) (10 mmol) in dry THF (200 mL) and refluxed for 60 minutes under argon. Methyl amine (1M in THF; 40 ml) was added slowly to the reaction mixture and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the product purified by column chromatography on silica gel using ethyl acetate as an eluent.
