Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of the intermediate 60 (1-(4-cyanophenyl)-2-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid) (0.124 g, 0.649 mmol), 2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride (0.150 g; 0.649 mmol), HATU (0.271 g; 0.713 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.280 mL; 1.62 mmol) in DMF (3 mL), was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and sodium hydrogen sulphate and the organic layer was successively washed with sodium carbonate, brine, dried and evaporated to dryness. The crude mixture was purified by crystallization from a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol to afford 0.044 g (18%) of the desired compound as a white solid.
