Ethyl chloroformate → HCID 11353129, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-{3E-[5-(1H-indol-2-yl)-2,4-dimethoxyphenyl]acryloyl}benzenesulfonamide (Ex-35E, 3.0 g, 6.5 mmol) in 250 mL of acetone were added ethyl chloroformate (0.93 g, 8.6 mmol) and K2CO3 (2.3 g, 16.7 mmol). The mixture was heated to reflux overnight. The yellow precipitate-formed was filtered. The filtrate was acidified to pH=1 with 3N HCl and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic phase was washed with water, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The residue was further purified by passing a short silica gel column eluted with EtOAc/hexenes (1:1) to give 30 mg of the title compound as a yellow solid, mp 165–175° C. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.39 (br, 1H), 8.04–8.20 (m, 6H), 7.64 (d, J=7 Hz, 1H), 7.57 (d, J=15 Hz, 1H), 7.42 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.12–7.07(m, 2H), 6.87 (s, 1H), 6.59 (s, 1H), 4.16 (q, J=7 Hz, 2H), 4.10 (s, 3H), 4.01 (s, 3H), 1.24 (t, J=7 Hz, 3H).
