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-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-4-yl)-ethylamine (528 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, ethyl acetate) in form as white solid in 55% yield (221 mg, 5.5 mmol).
