1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → HCID 11208307, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Preparation 18, 800 mg, 4.1 mmol) in DMF (40 mL) was added glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride (625 mg, 4.5 mmol), HOBt (0.55 g, 4.1 mmol) and DIPEA (2.13 mL, 12.2 mmol). After 5 min, EDCI (1.01 g, 5.3 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred at rt for 16 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the solid partitioned between water (100 mL) and ethyl acetate (3×80 mL). The combined organic fractions were dried (MgSO4), concentrated in vacuo and purified by chromatography on silica gel eluting with methanol/dichloromethane (4:96) to give the title compound as a yellow solid. δH (CD3OD): 1.28 (3H, t), 4.14 (2H, s), 4.23 (2H, q), 7.10 (1H, s), 7.68 (1H, s), 8.59 (1H, s); m/z (ES+)=282 [M+H]+.
