반응 단계

A mixture of 340 mg of 5-methylindole-2-carboxamide (1.95 mmol), 1.5 g of phosphorus oxychloride (9.75) and 8 mL of chloroform was refluxed for 2 hs. Then cooled solution was poured into 20 mL of water and stirred for 1 hr. After separation the organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified on silica gel column using hexane-ethyl acetate 5:1 to afford 245 mg of 5-methyl-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.61 (br, 1H), 7.44 (s, 1H), 7.30 (d, 1H, J=8.4 Hz), 7.21 (d, 1H, J=8.4 Hz), 7.11 (s, 1H), 2.44 (s, 3H). 13C NMR (150 MHz, CDCl3): δC 135.34, 131.25, 128.28, 126.53, 121.33, 114.41, 113.95, 111.39, 106.11, 21.36.
