Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 10 g of the product of step 1 (48 mmol) in dichloromethane (60 mL) was added 9.3 g (57.6 mmol) of 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then 5.3 mL (48 mmol) 1-methylpiperazine and 8.4 mL (48 mmol) N,N-diisopropylethyl-amine was added. The dark red reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was then poured into water, the organic layer separated and washed with brine, dried and concentrated to give 8 g (57%) of 3-[3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-oxo-propyl]-1,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-4-one.
