Pyridine → ethyl 7-{[(4-chlorobutyl)sulfonyl]amino}-3-ethyl-1H-indole-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 7-amino-3-ethyl-1H-indole-5-carboxylate (D222) (150 mg, 0.65 mmol, 1 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (10 ml) at room temperature were added pyridine (115 μl, 1.42 mmol, 2.2 equiv), 4-chloro-1-butanesulfonyl chloride (D20) (259 mg, 1.36 mmol, 2.1 equiv) and DMAP (8 mg, 0.065 mmol, 0.1 equiv) and the resulting mixture was stirred for 1 h then diluted with AcOEt and washed with a 2N aqueous HCl solution and brine, then dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give ethyl 7-{[(4-chlorobutyl)sulfonyl]amino}-3-ethyl-1H-indole-5-carboxylate (D242) (230 mg, 92%) as a purple oil which was used in the next step without further purification. [M+H]+=387.3, RT=3.35 min.
