Sodium Chloride → 1-[(4-bromophenyl)sulfonyl]-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.93 g of {1-[(4-bromophenyl)sulfonyl]-1H-indol-2-yl}methanol and 1.1 mL of triethylamine in 10 mL of 1,2-dichloroethane, a solution of 1.21 g of sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex in 5 mL of DMSO was added under ice cooling, and the resulting mixture was stirred under ice cooling for 1 hour. The solution was poured into a mixed solution of 25 ml of ice water and 25 mL of saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, the resulting mixture was extracted with 100 mL of ethyl acetate, the extract was washed with 5% aqueous potassium hydrogen sulfate solution, water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with hexane to obtain 0.91 g of 1-[(4-bromophenyl)sulfonyl]-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde as a beige solid. FAB+: 364, 366
