Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1H-Indole-4-carbaldehyde (518, 1.57 g, 10.8 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL) was added 1-isocyanatobutane (1.81 mL, 16.2 mmol), followed by 4-dimethylaminopyridine (130 mg, 1.1 mmol). The reaction was refluxed for 48 hours. The reaction solution was quenched with 1M HCl (aq.) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtrated and concentrated to give a light yellow solid (519, 2.62 g, 45%). MS(ESI) [M+H+]+=245.2.
