609-12-1, In the chemical reaction process, reaction time, type of solvent, can easily affect the result of the reaction, thereby determining the yield and properties of the reaction product. An updated downstream synthesis route of 609-12-1 as follows.
[00281] 3-Methyl-2-(2-methyl-1H-indol-4-yloxy)-butyric acid ethyl ester (2): A mixture of 4-hydroxy-2-methylindole (1) (1.5 g, 0.010 mole), 2-bromo-3-methyl-butyric acid ethyl ester (2.2 g, 0.010 mole) and potassium carbonate (excess) in acetone (50 mL) was refluxed for 3 days. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (20:1 Hex:EtOAc) to afford intermediate 2. Yield: 1.88 g, 71 %
