Reaktionsschritte

5H-Indeno[1,2-b]pyridine-5-one (4.0 g, 22 mmol) was mixed with potassium cyanide (1.6 g, 24 mmol) and ammonium carbonate (5.3 g, 55 mmol) in 90% ethanol (75 mL) in a pressure reactor and heated at 105° C. for 40 hr. The mixture was poured into 300 mL of water, acidified with conc. HCl (pH 1), and filtered. The filtrate was neutralized and the solid which formed collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried to yield 4.5 g. This solid was crystallized from ethyl acetate to yield 3.2 g of product. (This material was no longer soluble in ethyl acetate after the first crystallization). m/e30 . 251.
