1H-Indole-7-carboxylic acid → 1H-Indole-7-carboxylic acid (4-tert-butyl-benzyl)-[2-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-ethyl]-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 48 mg (0.3 mmol) of 1H-indole-7-carboxylic acid and 96 mg of TBTU (0.3 mmol) in 3 ml DMF, were added 0.26 ml (1.5 mmol) of N,N-diisopropylethyl amine. After stirring for 5 min at rt, 96 mg (0.3 mmol) of (4-tert-butyl-benzyl)-[2-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-ethyl]-amine in 2 ml DMF were added. After stirring for 4 h at rt, the reaction mixture was diluted with 50 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 1:6) to give 103 mg white solid (73%). MS (EI) 464.1 (M)+.
