(7-ethyl-3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)methanol → 7-ethyl-3-methyl-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (7-ethyl-3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)methanol (1.6 g, 9.1 mmol) and manganese (IV) oxide (3.97 g, 45.7 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 mL) was stirred overnight. The mixture was filtered through celite and evaporated to afford the title compound (1.1 mg, 65%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 10.02 (s, 1H), 8.90 (s, 1H), 7.53 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.19 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.10 (t, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 2.83 (q, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.62 (s, 3H), 1.31 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 3H)
