Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (0.5 mL; 7.26 mmol) was added to a mixture of 5-(hydroxymethyl)isoxazole-3-carboxylic acid (0.207 g; 7.26 mmol) and stirred at 80° C. for 72 h. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude material was dissolved in dichloromethane (5 mL) and added to a mixture of 2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride (0.370 g; 1.60 mmol) and triethylamine (0.524 mL; 3.62 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL). The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 20 min, concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent 2 to 20% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane) to afford N-(2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-5-(chloromethyl)isoxazole-3-carboxamide 0.088 g (22%).
