Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (0.152 mL; 1.08 mmol) was added at 0° C. to a mixture of (5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)methanamine (0.150 g; 0.830 mmol) and 4-(chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride (0.170 g; 0.872 mmol) in dichloromethane (12 mL). The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature and was evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent 2 to 20% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane) to furnish 0.262 g (95%) of N-((5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-4-(chloromethyl)benzamide as a white solid.
