Indole-3-glyoxylic acid → 2-amino-5-((2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxo-acetylamino)methyl)-6-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[2,3-c]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-5-aminomethyl-6-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[2,3-c]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (209 mg, 0.51 mmol) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (4 ml) was added 3-indole-glyoxylic acid (141 mg, 0.74 mmol), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide, hydrochloride (152 mg, 0.76 mmol), and 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole (100 mg, 0.74 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours, diluted with dichloromethane (100 ml) and washed with water (100 ml), brine (100 ml), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was subjected to flash chromatography using a mixture of ethyl acetate/hexanes (2:5) as eluent, which afforded 143 mg (40%) of 2-amino-5-((2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxo-acetylamino)methyl)-6-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[2,3-c]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as an oil.
