Dimethylacetamide → Ethyl 2-{4-methyl-7-[methyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indol-2-yl}-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixed solution of 4-methyl-7-[methyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indole-2-carbothioamide (0.50 g), ethyl bromopyruvate (0.36 mL) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (14 ml) was stirred at 100° C. for 3 hr. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained crystals were washed with ethyl acetate-hexane to give the title compound (403 mg, yield 64%) as pale-brown crystals. MS:462 (MH+).
