2-Chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolin-5-one → 2-hydroxy-3-(5-oxo-7,8-dihydro-6H-quinolin-2-yl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-chloro-7,8-dihydroquinolin-5(6H)-one (50 mg, 0.275 mmol) and 2-oxoindoline-5-carbonitrile (45.7 mg, 0.289 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.4 mL) was added a 1.0 M solution of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (641 μL, 0.641 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 3 min at RT and then heated in a microwave oven to 110° C. for 10 min. After cooling to RT the reaction was quenched by addition of methanol (1 mL). The resulting solution was evaporated to dryness. The crude was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, dichloromethane/methanol) yielding an orange solid. Amount 17 mg. Yield 20%.
