Benzyl Bromide → 2-(3-(benzyloxy)-6-chloropyridin-2-yl)-4-fluoro-1H-indole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-chloro-2-(4-fluoro-1H-indol-2-yl)pyridin-3-ol (100 mg, 0.38 mmol, prepared using similar method described in Example 1), BnBr (97 mg, 0.572 mmol) and K2CO3 (158 mg, 1.146 mmol) in DMF (1 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo. The resulting resulting residue was diluted with water (15 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL×3). The organic layer was washed with brine (20 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified using Prep-TLC (petroleum ether:EA=3:1) to provide 2-(3-(benzyloxy)-6-chloropyridin-2-yl)-4-fluoro-1H-indole (100 mg, yield: 74.6%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 9.64 (s, 1H), 7.12˜7.48 (m, 10H), 6.76 (t, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 5.33 (s, 2H). MS (M+H)+: 353/355.
