Diisopropylethylamine → 6-Fluoro-1H-indole-7-carboxylic acid (4-tert-butyl-benzyl)-[2-(3,5-difluoro-phenyl)-ethyl]-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 80 mg (0.45 mmol) of 6-fluoro-1H-indole-7-carboxylic acid and 143 mg of TBTU (0.45 mmol) in 5 ml DMF, were added 0.38 ml (2.23 mmol) of N,N-diisopropylethyl amine. After stirring for 5 min at rt, 176 mg (0.58 mmol) of (4-tert-butyl-benzyl)-[2-(3,5-difluoro-phenyl)-ethyl]-amine were added. After stirring for 17 h at rt, the reaction mixture was diluted with 50 ml water and extracted with 2×50 ml EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed with water and brine, dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (40 g silica gel; EtOAc/heptane 1:4) to give 166 mg light brown foam (78%). MS 464.1 (M)
