Participants

Reaction Steps

To N-(7-hydroxy-9H-carbazol-2-yl)-N-methylformamide (45 mg, 0.187 mmol) and 2-(2-(2-fluoroethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (172 mg, 0.38 mmol) in 0.5 mL NMP was added Cs2CO3 (65 mg, 0.2 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for 15 h under Ar atmosphere and diluted with EtOAc (50 mL). It was washed with water (2×50 mL), 0.5 M HCl (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), and dried over MgSO4. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified with silica chromatography (hexane/EtOAc) to afford 2-(2-(2-(7-(N-methylformamido)-9H-carbazol-2-yloxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (AD-CB-004 Pa-WZ01179) as a light-brown oil (48 mg, 48%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.52 (s, 1 H), 8.45 (s, 1H), 7.95 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.90 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.80-7.77 (m, 2H), 7.30 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.17 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.02 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.01 (dd, J=8.0, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.89 (dd, J=8.8, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 4.23 (m, 1H), 4.17 (m, 2H), 3.88 (m, 2H), 3.72-3.68 (m, 4H), 3.66-3.61 (m, 2H), 3.39 (s, 3H), 2.41 (s, 3H); MS (ESI) m/z 527 (M+H+).
