Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.41 g of 1-[(4-bromophenyl)sulfonyl]-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde in 3 mL of pyridine, 0.35 g of malonic acid and 0.02 mL of piperidine were added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 3 hours. After the solution was allowed to cool, 50 mL of water and concentrated hydrochloric acid were added to adjust the pH to pH3, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration and washed with ethanol to obtain 0.29 g of (2E)-3-{1-[(4-bromophenyl)sulfonyl]-1H-indol-2-yl} acrylic acid as a pale yellow solid.
