Trifluoroacetic acid → (Z)-2-[(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene]-6-hydroxy-7-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)benzofuran-3(2H)-one dihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl (Z)-4-({2-[(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene]-6-hydroxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl}methyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.0710 g, 0.139 mmol) in methylene chloride (3.0 mL) was added with trifluoroacetic acid (3.0 mL), and then the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated, then a solution of the resulting residue in methanol (8 mL) was added with a 5% solution of hydrogen chloride in methanol (2 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent was evaporated to obtain (Z)-2-[(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene]-6-hydroxy-7-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)benzofuran-3(2H)-one dihydrochloride (0.0611 g, 98%).
