Reaction Steps

To a solution of NaNO2 (11.04 g, 160 mmol) in H2O (200 mL) was added 6-cyanoindole (5.68 g, 40 mmol) in one portion slowly. The resulting suspension was stirred for 5 min at rt. HCl (32 mL, 192 mmol 6N) was added dropwise via a dropping funnel over 30 min and the pH was about 1. The resulting suspension was stirred for 4.5 h at rt before of EtOAc (400 mL) was added. After stirring for additional 10 min to dissolve the precipitate, the two layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (150 mL). Combined extracts were dried over Na2SO4. Removal of solvents afforded 6.864 g (100%) of title compound as brown (coffee color) solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 14.70 (s, 1H, NH), 10.22 (s, 1H, CHO), 8.38 (s, 1H), 8.28 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.69 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H). MS ESI 172.0 [M+H]+, calcd for [C9H5N3O+H]+ 172.0.
