Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 7-amino-5-(2-methoxyethoxy)-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (1 g) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL), then 2,6-lutidine (2.5 mL) and 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-sulfonyl chloride (0.98 g) were added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred'at room temperature for 2 hr. 1N Hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction solution under ice-cooling, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtrated, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained crude product was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=10:90-100:0) to give the title compound (780 mg, yield 51%) as a white solid. MS: 566(MH+).
