Hydrochloric Acid → [9-Benzyl-5-carbamoyl-1-chlorocarbazol-4-yl]oxyacetic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 78 mg of [5-carbamoyl-1-chlorocarbazol-4-yl]oxyacetic acid methyl ester in 0.8 ml of dry dimethylformamide was added to 10 mg sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil) in 0.2 ml of dimethylformamide and stirred for 15 minutes. Benzyl bromide (0.031 ml) was then added and the reaction was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water and acidified with 1 ml of 1 N HCl solution and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The extracts were washed with water (3×) and then with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with methanol/0-2% in dichloromethane to afford 40 mg of the subtitle compound.
