Methyl iodide → HCID 21938282, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

60% sodium hydride (0.07 g) and then methyl iodide (0.18 g) are added in that order to an N,N-dimethylformamide solution of 3-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-5-methoxycarbonylindole (0.34 g), and stirred at room temperature for 19 hours. After concentrated under reduced pressure, this is extracted with water and ethyl acetate. The resulting extract is washed with water, dried, concentrated, and purified through silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=9/1 to 7/1) to obtain 3-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-5-methoxycarbonyl-1-methylindole (55) (0.30 g).
