Cyclopentanone → Cyclopentyl-[2-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-1H-indol-7-yl]-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

[2-(4,5-Dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-1H-indol-7-yl]-amine (15 mg, 0.07 mmol) prepared in Step A was dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (10 mL). Cyclopentanone (12 mg, 0.14 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (29 mg, 0.14 mmol) were added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. The reaction was quenched by water, and the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography to give the title compound (6.7 mg, Yield 34%).
