1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → tert-Butyl 2-(6-(3-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxamido)-1H-indol-1-yl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

DIPEA (2.5 equiv.), EDCI (2.73 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) and HOBt (2.73 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) were added at 0° C. to a solution of 3-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (2.27 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in DMF (6 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 15 min. tert-Butyl 2-(6-amino-1H-indol-1-yl)acetate (intermediate A—for synthesis see above) (2.27 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was dissolved in DMF (1 ml) and added, with stirring, and the reaction mixture was then stirred for 12 h at 25° C. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (50 ml), washed with sat. ammonium chloride solution (20 ml), water (20 ml) and sat. NaCl solution (20 ml), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (10-15% ethyl acetate in hexane). Yield: 55%
