Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1.76 g of 5-carboxyoxindol in 200 ml of methylene chloride was added 2 ml of pyridine. After completion of addition, to the suspension was added dropwise 1.4 g of thionyl chloride with stirring held at 0° to 20° C. After completion of addition, the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour, and a solution of 1.74 g of benzylpiperazine in 10 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise thereto. The mixture was then stirred for 4 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was thoroughly washed with an aqueous potassium carbonate solution, then washed with water, and dilute hydrochloric acid, dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off. The residue was isolated and purified by silica-gel column chromatography [silica-gel: WAKO C-200, eluent: chloroform:methanol (V/V)=20:1] followed by recrystallization from isopropyl alcohol to give 298 mg of 5-(4-benzyl-1-piperazinylcarbonyl)oxindol.
