Potassium Iodide → 1-Acetyl-5-[2-[2-(2-ethoxyphenoxy)ethylamino]propyl]indoline-7-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-acetyl-5-(2-bromopropyl)indoline-7-carbonitrile (300 mg) and 2-(2-ethoxyphenoxy)ethylamine (391 mg) in dioxane (4 ml) were added potassium iodide (17 mg) and 18-crown-6 (26 mg), and the mixture was reacted in a sealed tube at 180° C. for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel using a mixture of methylene chloride and methanol (40/1) as eluent to give 111 mg of 1-acetyl-5-[2-[2-(2-ethoxyphenoxy)ethylamino] propyl]indoline-7-carbonitrile as an oil.
