Acetic Acid → 4-Chloro-7-(1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-5-(phenylaminomethyl)indol-2-yl)isoindolinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar manner to Step 2 of Example 6, 4-chloro-7-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-5-formylindol-2-yl]isoindolinone (57.5 mg, 0.140 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (3 mL), and the solution was treated with aniline (0.051 mL, 0.56 mmol), acetic acid (0.160 mL, 2.80 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (89 mg, 0.42 mmol). The reaction mixture was added with 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 4-chloro-7-(1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-5-(phenylaminomethyl)indol-2-yl)isoindolinone (63.0 mg, yield 92%).
