Procedure

A mixture of 3.0 grams of (1-ethyl-2-methylindol-3-yl) (2-carboxyphenyl)ketone, 2.5 grams of 1-methyl-2-(2-naphthyl) indolizine and 10 ml. of acetic anhydride was heated at 39° C. for about two hours. The resulting solution was cooled and added to a mixture of ice, toluene and ammonia. The toluene layer was separated, dried, treated with charcoal and filtered. Petroleum ether was added and after fractional precipitation a crystalline product was obtained and recrystallized from a toluene-heptane mixture to a constant melting point of 191°-193° C. A chloroform solution of this final product gave a blue color when applied to a record sheet material coated with a zinc-modified phenolic resin.
