Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[3-(5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazin-6-yl)-indol-1-yl]-propylbromide [250 mg, Reference Example 4], morpholine (0.5 mL), potassium carbonate (100 mg) and potassium iodide (2 crystals) in ethyl methyl ketone was heated at reflux for 2 hours. The mixture was then allowed to cool to ambient temperature over 16 hours then evaporated. The residue was subjected to flash chromatography on silica eluting with a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (9:1, v/v) to give a yellow glass which was triturated with ethyl acetate and pentane to give the title compound (40 mg) as a yellow solid, m.p. 180–185° C. MS: 362 (MH+).
