Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of E,E-4-[3,6-Di(3-oxo-3-pyrrolidino-1-propenyl)indol-1-ylmethyl]-3-methoxybenzoic acid (0.45 g), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.13 g), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.21 g) and 2-methylbenzenesulfonamide (0.19 g), in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) and methylene chloride (25 ml), was stirred for 48 hr. The methylene chloride was evaporated and the remaining solution added slowly to rapidly-stirred 2M hydrochloric acid (100 ml), the precipitate isolated by filtration and washed with water. The solid obtained was heated to reflux in methanol (50 ml), cooled, and the product isolated by filtration to give the title compound (0.49 g, 84%) as a yellow powder, mp 297°-299°.
