As part of a research programme targeting novel indole-based molecules as potential cannabinoid agonists we synthesised [5-hydroxy-1-(2-morpholinoethyl)-1H-indol-3-yl](4-methoxyphenyl)methanone [1,2,3,4].
Molecules 06 m194 i001
N-(3-ethylmorpholine)-5-methoxy indole (160 mg, 0.61 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous dichloromethane (5.0 mL) and 4-methoxy benzoyl chloride (125.5 mg, 0.74 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen and aluminium chloride (204.3 mg, 1.5 mmol) was added gradually. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. Water was added and the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford a residue which was purified by column chromatography eluting with chloroform then chloroform/methanol (99/1) to afford (85.0 mg, 35.1 %) of the desired [5-Hydroxy-1-(2-morpholinoethyl)-1H-indol-3-yl](4-methoxyphenyl)methanone as a soft yellow solid.
