Dimethyl Sulfate → 3-(2-Nitro-2-methylpropyl)-7-nitroindole

참여 물질

반응 단계

The 7-nitrogramine salt (2.0 g, 5.8 mmol) is suspended in a mixture of 2-nitropropane (9.5 mL) and methanol (9.5 mL). Dimethylsulfate (1.09 mL, 11.5 mmol) is added dropwise via syringe, and the resulting yellow solution is stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes. Sodium methoxide (0.62 g, 11.5 mmol) is then added in one portion, and the mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction is quenched by addition of saturated NH4Cl solution and ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer is extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers are washed with brine, and dried over Na2SO4 to give 1.0 g of 3-(2-nitro-2-methylpropyl)-7-nitroindole (69%).
