Participants

Reaction Steps

2,3,5,6-Tetrafluorophenyl trifluoroacetate (2.6 g, 10 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 3-(tertbutyloxycarbonyl)-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo (3,2-e]indole7-carboxylic acid (1.0 gi 3.7 mmol, D. L. Boger, R. S. Coleman, and B. J. Invergo. J. Org. Chem., 1987, Vol. 52, 1521-1530) and triethylamine (1.5 ml, 10 mmol) in 10 ml of anhydrous CH2cl2. After 4 hrs, CH2cl2 was removed by evaporation at reduced pressure. Flash chromatography (4×20 cm, hexane-ethyl acetate, 1:2) afforded 1b as a yellow crystalline solid (1.25 gr 75%): 1H NMR (Me2SO-d6, 200 MHz, ppm) 12.39 (d, 1H, J=1.4 Hz, NH), 8.02 (m, 1H, C6F4H), 7.9 (br s, 1H, C4H)i, 7.45 (d, 1Hj, J=1.4 Hz, C8-H), 7.33 (d, 1H, J=9 Hz, C5-H), 4.02 (t, 2H, J=9 Hz, NCH2CH2), 3.26 (t, 2H, J=9 Hz, NCH2CH22)″ 1.51 (s, 9H, C(CH3)3). Anal. Calcd. for C22H18N2O4F4: C, 58.67; HI, 4.03; N, 6.22. Found: C, 58.45; HI, 4eO9; N, 6*13a.
