Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 66777278, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution (100 mL) of 5-chloro-N-methoxy-N-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (9.14 g) synthesized above in tetrahydrofuran was added a 2.3M solution (50.0 mL) of hexyllithium in hexane at −78° C., and the mixture was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere for 1.5 hr. A 2.3M solution (38.3 mL) of hexyllithium in hexane was additionally added, and the mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 hr. 1N Hydrochloric acid was added to quench the reaction, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with hexane to give the title object compound (6.90 g, 68%) as a pale-yellow solid.
