Benzene → HCID 18688800, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 1.05 g of 1-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-3-phenylindole-3-carboxylic acid and 0.60 cc of diphenylphosphoryl azide in 10 cc of benzene was added dropwise 0.39 cc of triethylamine at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes and then heated under reflux for 30 minutes. After cooling, 0.285 cc of 2,4-difluoroaniline was added and then stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, followed by refluxing for 2 hours. After cooling, water was added to the reaction mixture and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over magnesium sulfate, and distilled to remove the solvent. The crude product thus obtained was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane=1/3) to obtain 780 mg of compound 120. Yield 55.8%, m.p. 244°-246° C.
