Komponenten

Versuchsvorschrift

A mixture of 8.57 g. (38.8 mmoles) of 7-benzoylindole, 5.38 g. (42.7 mmoles) of dimethyl sulfate and 5.12 g. of 85% potassium hydroxide in 40 ml. of acetone was heated to reflux for 75 minutes. The mixture was poured into 500 ml. of water and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic phase was separated, dried and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using methylene chloride-hexane as the eluant. The fractions containing the product were combined and concentrated to dryness, 6.5 g.
