4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one → 5-[4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl]-2-methyl-4-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-propyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (60.9 mg, 0.25 mmol) and 5-formyl-2-methyl-4-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-propyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (80.3 mg, 0.26 mmol) in ethanol (2 mL) was added piperidine (3 drops). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for three days. A yellow solid product was precipitated out, filtered, washed by ethanol for three times, and dried under high vacuum to provide pure product 5-[4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl]-2-methyl-4-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-propyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester as a yellow solid (38.8 mg, 28%).
