Methyl iodide → N-[2-(benzylthio)-3,3-dimethoxypropyl]-1-(methoxymethyl)-7-[methyl(pyridin-2-ylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indole-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-[2-(benzylthio)-3,3-dimethoxypropyl]-1-(methoxymethyl)-7-[(pyridin-2-ylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (1.52 g) and potassium carbonate (0.54 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (14 mL) was added methyl iodide (0.16 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred from under ice-cooling to room temperature for 18 hr. The reaction solution was ice-cooled, potassium carbonate (0.30 g) and methyl iodide (0.16 mL) were added again, and the mixture was further stirred from under ice-cooling to room temperature for 15 hr. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with aqueous citric acid solution, water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=4:6-6:4) to give the title compound (1.6 g, yield: 100%) as a colorless oil.
