5-Chloro-1H-indole-3-ethylamine monohydrochloride → N-(2-(5-Chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-3-(phenylamino)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(phenylamino)benzoic acid (0.155 g, 0.727 mmol), 2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride (0.168 g; 0.727 mmol), HATU (0.303 g; 0.799 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethyldiamine (0.313 mL; 1.82 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 0.072 g (25%) of the title compound as a pink solid.
