1H-Indole-3-ethanamine, 5-methoxy-, hydrochloride (1:?) → 2-(4-Cyano-3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-pentanoic acid [2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethyl]-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound was prepared in the following manner. To 0.25 gm (0.87 mmol) of 2-(4-cyano-3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-pentanoic acid in dimethylformamdie “DMF” (15 mL) were added 0.14 gm (1.09 mmol) of 1-Hydroxy-benzotriazole HOBT, 0.2 gm (1.09 mmol) of (3-(dimethylamino)propyl)ethylcarbodiimide EDCl, 0.23 gm (2.39 mmol) N-methyl morpholine, and approximately 246 mg of 5-methoxytryptamine hydrochloride (1.09 mmol). The resultant mixtures were stirred at room temperature for approximately 18 hours. The reactions were quenched with sodium bicarbonate (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 times 20 mL). The solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain oils that were then purified by HPLC.
