2-Methylbenzenesulfonamide → HCID 14882520, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of E-4-[6-[2-(propylcarbamoyl)vinyl]indol-1-ylmethyl]-3-methoxybenzoic acid (0.76 g), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.26 g), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.41 g), and 2-methylbenzenesulfonamide (0.36 g) in methylene chloride (20 ml) was stirred under an atmosphere of nitrogen for 18 hr. Further quantities of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.026 g), the carbodiimide (0.041 g), and the sulfonamide (0.036 g) were added, and stirring was continued for a further 5 hr. The mixture was diluted with methylene chloride (40 ml); washed with 1M hydrochloric acid, water (twice) and brine; dried (MgSO4); and evaporated to give a foam. Crystallization from hot acetonitrile provided the title compound (0.75 g, 71%) as an off-white solid; mp 240°-242°.
