Toluene → Ethyl(2-{7-[[(2-methoxyphenyl)sulfonyl](methyl)amino]-1H-indol-2-yl}-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-[[(2-methoxyphenyl)sulfonyl](methyl)amino]-1H-indole-2-carbothioamide (2.3 g), ethyl but-2-ynoate (1.5 mL), tributylphosphine (1.5 mL), toluene (25 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (25 mL) was stirred for 3 hr at room temperature. The reaction solution was concentrated, and the obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=3:7-5:5) to give the title compound (1.23 g, yield: 41%) as a pale-brown amorphous solid.
