Isopropyl iodide → HCID 57475958, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(methoxymethyl)-7-[(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (1.0 g), 2-iodopropane (574 mg), potassium carbonate (1.13 g) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature for a week. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and saturated brine, and the organic layer was washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtrated. The filtrate was concentrated, and the residue was subjected to basic silica gel column chromatography, and eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (2:1) mixture to give a solid. A mixture of this solid, oxalic acid dihydrate (605 mg), methanol (15 ml) and water (15 ml) was stirred at 100° C. for 3.5 days. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, and the obtained solid was collected by filtration, washed successively with water, hexane-diisopropyl ether mixture and hexane. The obtained solid was subjected to basic silica gel column chromatography, and eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane mixture (2:1) to give the title compound (340 mg, yield 34%) as an amorphous solid.
