Propanoic acid, 2-bromo-2-methyl-, ethyl ester → HCID 70555358, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

One gram (42 m mole) of 1,2-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1H-indole-5-ol was converted to the sodium salt in 10 of absolute dimethylformamide in the presence of 223 mg (5 m mole) of 55% sodium hydride immersion in oil, and the sodium salt was mixed at room temperature with 990 mg (5 m mole) of 2-bromo-2-methyl-propanoic acid ethylester. After a reaction time of six hours, the solvent was distilled off in vacuo and the reaction product was purified by chromatography on a silicagel column (eluant: toluene/ethyl acetate (9:1)). The evaporation residue of the combined fractions, which contained the purified ester, was treated with petroleum ether.
