Water → tert-Butyl 5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-5-iodoindole (3.46 g, 10.1 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (45.0 mL), and the solution was added with 4-methylpiperazine (2.24 mL, 20.2 mmol), 2,2′-(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (1.26 g, 2.02 mmol), cesium carbonate (4.94 mg, 15.2 mmol) and palladium acetate (226 mg, 1.01 mmol), followed by stirring under reflux for 24 hours. The mixture was added with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (chloroform/methanol=9/1) to obtain 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-5-(4-methylpiperazino)indole (887 mg, 28%).
