Sodium Iodide → 1-cyclopropylethyl N-[4-[3-cyano-1-cyclobutyl-6-[2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethoxy]indol-2-yl]phenyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of {4-[6-(2-chloroethoxy)-3-cyano-1-cyclobutyl-1H-indol-2-yl]-phenyl}-carbamic acid 1-cyclopropyl-ethyl ester (1.46 g, 3.05 mmol) in CH3CN (10 mL) is added sodium iodide (1.84 g, 12.22 mmol). The resulting mixture is stirred at reflux temperature overnight. The solvent is evaporated and the residue is diluted with anhydrous DMF (20 mL) and then used without further purification. To 1 mL of the DMF solution containing the iodoethyl intermediate (0.153 mmol) is added the sodium salt of 1,2,4-triazole (0.31 mmol) and the reaction is stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture is diluted with 0.5 mL DMF and the desired product is purified by preparative LC to give {4-[3-cyano-1-cyclobutyl-6-(2-[1,2,4]triazol-1-yl-ethoxy)-1H-indol-2-yl]-phenyl}-carbamic acid 1-cyclopropyl-ethyl ester, compound 1329 (23 mg, 29%).
