Water → 3-[2-(5-bromo-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroindol-3-ylidenemethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indol-3-yl]-N-(2-morpholin-4-ylethyl)-propionamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-[2-(5-Bromo-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroindol-3-ylidenemethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indol-3-yl]-propionic acid(12.3 g) was dissolved in 150 mL of dimethylformamide. Carbonyldiimidazole (6.3 g) was added and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. 4-(2-Aminoethyl)morpholine (7.7 g) and 30 mL of dimethylformamide were added and the stirring continued overnight at room temperature. Fifty mL of water was added to the mixture and stirring was continued for 10 minutes. The precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with 20 mL of water and then 20 mL of ethanol. The solid was slurry-washed in 30 mL of refluxing ethanol for 5 minutes and cooled to room temperature. The solid was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with 20 mL of ethanol and vacuum dried to give 12.5 g (80%) of 3-[2-(5-bromo-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroindol-3-ylidenemethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indol-3-yl]-N-(2-morpholin-4-ylethyl)-propionamide.
