Imidazole → HCID 66834106, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The DMF solution of 8-methoxy-6,6-dimethyl-11-oxo-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[b]carbazole-3-carbonitrile (Compound A6, 100 mg, 0.331 mmol), imidazole (67.5 mg, 3 eq.) and tert-butylchlorodimethylsilane (92.4 mg, 1.5 eq.) was stirred overnight at room temperature. To the reaction solution, saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate was added followed by extraction with tert-butylmethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The drying agent was removed by filtration and the residues obtained after concentration under reduced pressure were purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to obtain the target compound (white solid, 170 mg, 100%).
