Phthalimide → HCID 58215609, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(5-hydroxymethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (Example 220, 190 mg, 0.72 mmol) in THF (5 mL) are added sequentially phthalimide (116 mg, 0.79 mmol), 1,1′-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (346 mg, 1.37 mmol) and tributylphosphine (277 mg, 1.37 mmol). The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture is then concentrated in vacuo and the residue is purified by silica gel flash chromatography (heptane-ethyl acetate, 1:0 to 0:1) to give 2-[5-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-ylmethyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile. MS (ESI) m/z 393.02 (M+H)+.
