Diisopropylethylamine → [Rac]-5,6-difluoro-1h-indole-7-carboxylic acid (4-tert-butyl-benzyl)-[2-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-ethyl]-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 43 mg (0.22 mmol) of 5,6-difluoro-1H-indole-7-carboxylic acid and 68 mg of TBTU (0.22 mmol) in 2 ml DMF, were added 0.19 ml (1.09 mmol) of N,N-diisopropylethyl amine. After stirring for 5 min at rt, 66 mg (0.22 mmol) of [rac]-(4-tert-butyl-benzyl)-[2-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-ethyl]-amine were added. After stirring for 17 h at rt, the reaction mixture was diluted with 20 ml water and extracted with EtOAc (2×). 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 (8 g silica gel; EtOAc/heptane 1:2) to give 56 mg light yellow foam (47%). MS(ISP): 481.4 (M+H)+.
