Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-2-iodobenzamide was prepared according to method C with triethylamine (1.19 mL; 8.48 mmol), 2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride (0.800 g; 3.90 mmol) and 2-iodobenzoyl chloride (0.968 g; 3.56 mmol) in dichloromethane (75 mL). The mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature and was evaporated to dryness. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent 1 to 10% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane) to furnish 1.32 g (92%) of N-(2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-2-iodobenzamide as a white solid.
