참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of 5-carboxy-2-oxindole (88.5 mg), indole-2-carbaldehyde (87 mg) (prepared according to Synthetic Communications, 1993, 23, 3109) and piperidine (1 drop) in ethanol (3 mL) was held in a sealed tube at 95° C. for 4 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature. The solid was filtered and acidified with 2N hydrochloric acid. The resulting solid was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with cold ethanol and dried in vacuum oven to give 60 mg (40% yield) of 3-(1H-indol-2-ylmethylene)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid as a mustard-colored solid.
