Ethylenediamine → N-(3,4-Difluorobenzyl)-2-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-6-isopropoxy-1-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(3,4-difluorobenzyl)-2-formyl-6-isopropoxy-1-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxamide (Compound 105, 27 mg, 0.058 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2 ml) was added 1,2-ethylene-diamine (5 μl, 0.070 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 h and NBS (13 mg, 0.070 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred for 16 h and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (9:1 EtOAc-Et3N, then 8:2:1 EtOAc-MeOH-Et3N) followed by PTLC eluted with EtOAc to yield the title compound.
