Sodium Hydroxide → methyl 1-(3-tert-butoxycarbonylaminopropyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out in a manner similar to Reference Example 5 except for using 5.00 g (28.5 mmol) of methyl 2-indolecarboxylate, 1.26 g (31.4 mmol) of 60% sodium hydroxide, 12.3 g (43.2 mmol) of tert-butyl N-(3-iodopropyl)carbamate (prepared from 3-iodopropyl-amine and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate) and 60 ml of dimethylformamide. Thus, 2.54 g (27%) of methyl 1-(3-tert-butoxycarbonylaminopropyl)-2-indolecarboxylate was obtained.
