4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 3604734, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 7-amino-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (0.30 g) and pyridine (8 mL) was added 4-methylphenylsulfonyl chloride (0.34 g) at 4° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with aqueous citric acid solution, water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained crystals were recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give the title compound (465 mg, yield 88%) as pale-yellow prism crystals. MS:359 (MH+).
