Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(4-Methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-5-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-indole (0.25 g, 0.54 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (4 mL), α-chloroethyl chloroformate (0.150 g, 1.05 mmol) was added and the mixture left at room temperature for 2 h after which it was concentrated. MeOH (10 mL) was added and the mixture refluxed for 2 hrs and then concentrated to give the product (0.22 g, quantitative yield). 1H NMR (MeOH d6) δ 3.39-3.47 (8H, m), 3.77 (3H, s), 6.64 (1H, d, J=3), 6.94 (2H, d, J=9), 7.15 (1H, dd, J=9, 2), 7.26 (1H, d, J=2), 7.59 (1H, d, J=4), 7.80 (2H, d, J=9) and 7.90 (1, H, d, J=9); MS (posES-FIA) 371.1304 M+; Purity (HPLC chromsil C18) >98%.
