Benzyl Bromide → Ethyl1-Benzyl-2-tert-butyl-3-(3,4-difluorobenzylcarbamoyl)-1H-indole-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl2-tert-butyl-3-(3,4-difluorobenzylcarbamoyl)-1H-indole-6-carboxylate (Compound 115, 33 mg, 0.080 mmol) in DMF (1 ml) was added benzyl bromide (47 μl, 0.40 mmol) and K2CO3 (33 mg, 0.24 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h, diluted with EtOAc, washed with H2O and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (0→30% EtOAc-hexanes) followed by PTLC (5% MeOH—CH2Cl2) to yield the title compound.
