Triethylamine → 4-Fluoro-N-[2-fluoro-5-(1H-indol-5-yl)-benzyl]-N-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethyl)-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Fluorobenzoyl chloride (93 mg, 0.59 mmol) was added to a solution of [2-fluoro-5-(1H-indol-5-yl)-benzyl]-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethyl)-amine (90 mg, 0.27 mmol) and triethyl amine (81 mg, 0.8 mmol) in 10 ml of dichloromethane at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 h, and then the volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with 1 M HCl solution and water. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic phases were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to leave the crude product. Chromatography (elution with methanol/dichloromethane) provided 181 mg of product. This was dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 92 mg of the title compound. LC/MS: Retention time, 2.55 min; (M+H)=460.
