1-Hydroxybenzotriazole → 7-[Methyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-N-[2-(tritylthio)ethyl]-5-(trifluoromethoxy)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 7-[methyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-5-(trifluoromethoxy)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (0.30 g), 2-(tritylthio)ethylamine hydrochloride (0.32 g), triethylamine (0.13 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) were added 1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-ol (0.15 g) and N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.19 g) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hr. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=5:95-20:80), and the obtained crystals were washed with diethyl ether-hexane to give the title compound (160 mg, yield 31%) as colorless crystals. melting point 222-223° C.
