Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(6-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone (200 mg, 0.81 mmol) and potassium carbonate (214 mg, 2.02 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL) was stirred at 25° C. for 30 min. This mixture was then treated with 1-bromo-3-methylbutane (0.15 mL, 1.21 mmol) and then heated at 60° C. for 5 h. At this time, the reaction was cooled to 25° C. and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (1×50 mL), water (2×50 mL), and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (1×50 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 1-[6-chloro-1-(3-methyl-butyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone (284.9 mg) as dark yellow solid which was used without further purification or characterization.
