Reaction Steps

1-Hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (0.844 g, 6.21 mmol, 0.05 eq), EDCxHCl (26.09 g, 136.64 mmol, 1.1 eq) and morpholine (12.9 g, 149.06 mmol, 1.2 eq) were added to a stirred solution of 1H-indole-6-carboxylic acid (20.0 g, 124.22 mmol, 1.0 eq) in DMF (150 mL). Stirring was continued for 16 h at room temperature and water (200 mL) was then poured into the reaction mixture. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (2×150 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with brine (100 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and evaporated. White solid. Yield: 16.0 g (56% of theory).
