Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 5-acetyl-2-(2-chloro-3-quinolinyl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate (8-3, 400 mg, 0.95 mmol) was heated in a 3:1 mixture of acetic acid and water at reflux for 20 h The reaction mixture was cooled, then concentrated to dryness. The residue was suspended in ethyl ether (50 mL) with the aid of sonication, then filtered and air dried to give 3-(5-acetyl-1H-indol-2-yl)-2(1H)-quinolinone (8-4) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 12.22 (s, 1H), 11.94 (s, 1H), 8.59 (s, 1H), 8.31 (s, 1H), 7.76 (d, 2H, J=7.9 Hz), 7.60 (d, 1H, J=8.6 Hz), 7.55 (t, 1H, J=7.5 Hz), 7.49 (s, 1H), 7.39 (d, 1H, J=7.9 Hz), 7.26 (t, 1H, J=7.5 Hz), 2.62 (s, 3H).
