Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1,2-methyl-3-methylaminomethyl)-1H-indole (0.8 g, 4.2 mmole) in 1:1 DMF/CH2Cl2 (30 mL) at RT was added (E)-3-(6-aminopyridin-3-yl)acrylic acid (0.7 g, 4.3 mmole), Et3N (0.61 mL, 4.3 mmole), HOBt.H2O (0.58 g, 4.3 mmole) and EDC (0.83 g, 4.3 mmole). After 16 h the reaction was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was taken up in EtOAc (100 mL). The solution was washed with 1.0 N Na2CO3 (100 mL) then with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel (4% MeOH/CHCl3) followed by trituration with 1:1 Et2O/petroleum ether and drying under vacuum gave the tide compound (1.36 g, 97%) as an off-white solid: MS (ES) m/e 335.2 (M+H)+.
