Dimethylformamide → ethyl 4-{[(2-{7-[methyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indol-2-yl}-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)methyl]amino}butanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-{2-[5-(chloromethyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-1H-indol-7-yl}-N-methylthiophene-2-sulfonamide (424 mg), triethylamine (693 μL), ethyl 4-aminobutanoate dihydrochloride (335 mg) and N,N-dimethylformamide (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 16 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give ethyl 4-{[(2-{7-[methyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indol-2-yl}-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)methyl]amino}butanoate as a crude product from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate. A mixture of this product, methanol (2 ml), 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (4 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) was stirred at 45° C. for 20 hr. The mixture was neutralized with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound (49 mg, yield 10%) as colorless crystals from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate. MS 473(M+1).
