Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 4 g. of 3-[(1-ethyl-2-methyl-3-indolyl)carbonyl]-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid, 1.7 g. of diphenylamine and 15 ml. of acetic anhydride was stirred 1 hour at room temperature and then 30 minutes with gentle warming. The product, 7-(1-ethyl-2-methyl-3-indolyl)-7-(diphenylamino)furo[3,4-b]pyrazine-5(7H)-one was isolated by column chromatography as a red solid, m.p. 98°-100° C. A toluene solution of this product contacted with acidic clay or phenolic resin developed an orange image.
