Cyclohexanemethylamine → N-1H-Indol-4-ylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.5 g of 2-[(2-oxiranyl)methoxy]-N-(1H-indol-4-yl)-benzamide in 50 ml of ethanol in the presence of 1.147 g of cyclohexane methylamine was refluxed for 2 hours and 15 minutes and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed over silica (eluent: methylene chloride--methanol, 9-1) to obtain 1.97 g of 2-[3-(cyclohexylmethyl)amino]-2-hydroxypropoxy]-N-(1H-indol-4-yl)-benzamide.
