Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2,6-diethyl-phenyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine (15 mg, 0.06 mmol) in DMF (0.5 mL) is added NaH (95%, 4 mg). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, and 2-chloromethyl-4-isopropyl-1-methyl-benzene (33 mg, 0.18 mmol) is then added. The mixture is heated at 60° C. for three hours and cooled. To the mixture, water (2 mL) and EtOAc (2 mL) are added. The organic layer is separated, washed with water once and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by PTLC (Hexane/EtOAc 4:1) to give the titled compound. 1H NMR: (CDCl3) 8.81 (s, 1H), 7.47 (s, 1H), 7.28 (t, 1H), 7.13-7.19 (m, 5H), 6.77 (s, 1H), 6.52 (d, 1H), 5.39 (s, 2H), 2.80 (m, 1H), 2.27-2.40 (m, 7H), 1.14 (d, 2H), 1.01 (t, 6).
