Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 4-[(3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)methyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.0251 g, 0.0755 mmol) in methanol (2 mL) was added with 1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde (0.0115 g, 0.0793 mmol) and piperidine (5 drops), and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol) to obtain tert-butyl (Z)-4-({2-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methylene]-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl}methyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.0305 g, 88%).
