Diisopropylethylamine → HCID 66832046, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl oxazole-5-carboxylate (0.167 g; 1.19 mmol) in tetrahydrofurane (5 mL) and sodium hydroxide in water (2M, 2.7 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and diluted in water, extracted with dichloromethane and the waters acidified with HCl 6N in water to pH 2 extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was added to a mixture of 2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride (0.25 g; 1.08 mmol), HATU (0.411 g; 1.08 mmol), N,N diisopropylethylamine (0.466 mL; 2.70 mmol), in DMF (6 mL) and was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted in ethyl acetate, washed with sodium disulphate, sodium carbonate and brine, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography on silica (eluent 20 to 100% ethyl acetate in heptane) to yield 0.182 g (32%) of N-(2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)oxazole-5-carboxamide as a yellow solid.
