Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 21194155, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.12 g (0.31 mmol) of ethyl 7-[(3-tert-butoxycarbonylaminopropyl)amino]-1-methyl-2-indolecarboxylate, 2 ml of 5N potassium hydroxide aqueous solution and 5 ml of ethanol was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours. After 2N hydrochloric acid was gradually added to the reaction solution to render the pH 6, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted three times with chloroform. The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was then distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 0.079 g (72.4%) of 7-[(3-tert-butoxycarbonylaminopropyl)amino]-1-methyl-2-indolecarboxylic acid.
