Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-phenoxybenzoic acid (0.136 g, 0.634 mmol), 2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride (0.146 g; 0.635 mmol), HATU (0.265 g; 0.698 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethyldiamine (0.273 mL; 1.59 mmol) in DMF (5 mL), was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and sodium hydrogen sulphate, the organic layer was washed with sodium carbonate, brine, dried and concentrated in vacuo. The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography on silica (eluent 20 to 100% ethyl acetate in heptane) to yield 0.070 g (28%) of the title compound as a white solid.
