2-formyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (2-diethylaminoethyl)-amide → 5-methyl-2-[2-oxo-4(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (2-diethylamino-ethyl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (69.3 mg, 0.25 mmol) and 2-formyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (2-diethylamino-ethyl)-amide (65.3 mg, 0.26 mmol) in ethanol (2 mL) was added piperidine (3 drops). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for three days. A yellow solid product was precipitated out, filtered, washed by ethanol for three times, and dried under high vacuum to provide pure product 5-methyl-2-[2-oxo-4(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (2-diethylamino-ethyl)-amide as a yellow solid (28 mg, 22%).
