Versuchsvorschrift
5-nitro-2,3,3-trimethylindole (1) was synthesized according to a modified literature procedure (see, Noland, W. E., et al., J. Org. Chem. 3457-3469, 1965). To a solution of 2,3,3-trimethylindole (10.6 g) in concentrated sulfuric acid cooled to 0° C. using an ice/brine bath was added dropwise fuming nitric acid (5.6 mL). The resultant solution was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours; then poured into crushed ice; filtered; and washed with water. The combined filtrate was neutralized to a pH greater than 7. The product precipitated from the neutralized solution and was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried to provide the desired product 1 (10.1 g, 74% yield): ESI-MS, calculated [M+H]+ 205.1, found 205.0.
