5-Nitroindole → HCID 57474453, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-nitro-1H-indole (0.67 g, 4.13 mmol), 1-ethylpiperidin-4-one (1.094 mL, 8.26 mmol) and pyrrolidine (1.025 mL, 12.40 mmol) in dry methanol (10 mL) was refluxed for 48 h. The reaction was brought to room temperature, diluted with water and product was extracted into CH2Cl2 (2×50 mL). The combined CH2Cl2 layer was washed with brine (20 mL) and dried (Na2SO4). Solvent was evaporated, crude was stirred with isopropanol: hexanes, (15 mL, 1:7) and the yellow precipitate was filtered and dried to obtain 3-(1-ethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)-5-nitro-1H-indole (0.87 g, 78%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 11.87 (s, 1H), 8.69 (d, 1H, J=2.1 Hz), 8.01 (dd, 1H, J=2.4, 9.0 Hz), 7.65 (s, 1H), 7.55 (d, 1H, J=9.0 Hz), 6.18 (s, 1H), 3.16-3.12 (m, 2H), 2.64 (t, 2H, J=5.1 Hz), 2.54-2.42 (m, 4H, merged with DMSO-peak), 1.70 (t, 3H, J=7.2 Hz); ESI-MS (m/z, %): 272 (MH+, 100).
