Hydrochloric Acid → (1H-indol-3-yl)methylene-7-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)benzofuran-3(2H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl (Z)-4-({2-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methylene]-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl}methyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.0305 g, 0.0664 mmol) in methylene chloride (2 mL) was added with a 4 M solution of hydrogen chloride in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated, the resulting residue was added with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated to obtain (Z)-2-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methylene-7-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)benzofuran-3(2H)-one (0.0220 g, 95%).
