Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by the same procedure for (6,4′-dimethoxy-biphenyl-3-ylmethyl)-(1-quinolin-4-yl-ethyl)-amine from 1-(1-Methyl-1H-indol-4-yl)-ethylamine (522 mg, 3.0 mmol), 6,4′-Dimethoxy-biphenyl-3-carbaldehyde (242 mg, 1.0 mmol) and sodium cyanoborohydride (1.0 g, 16 mmol, Aldrich). The title compound was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane/ethyl acetate 3/2) in form as white solid in 74% yield (296 mg, 0.74 mmol).
