Description

Indoline (2,3-dihydroindole) is the saturated relative of indole. In the silodosin synthesis it is functionalised at C-5 with a 2-hydroxypropyl chain that is later resolved to install the chiral aminopropyl arm responsible for α1A selectivity.

Applications

  • Silodosin synthesis
  • Building block for CNS and α-blocker APIs
