Reaction Steps

To 2 g of 1-methyl-2-chloroindole-3-carbaldehyde, dissolved in 50 ml of abs. EtOH, was added 2.3 g of ethyl 2-cyanoacetate and 4.2 g of triethylamine. After 19 hours with stirring, the solution was added to 200 ml of water, and the precipitate collected by filtration and dried to give (2a). Yield 2.68 g of (2a), m.p. 131°-132° C.
