Ammonia → 7-nitro-1H-indole-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 7-nitro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (4.40 g), 1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-ol (3.45 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (80 mL) was added N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (4.90 g) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 20 min and 28% aqueous ammonia (7.8 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr, and water was added. The resulting crystals were filtrated, washed with water, and dried to give the title compound (3.21 g, yield 73%) as yellow crystals. melting point 297-298° C. (decomposition).
