2,2'-Bipyridine → HCID 90308949, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cyclopropyl boronic acid (1.0 g), sodium bicarbonate (0.99 g), copper acetate (II) (1.1 g), and 2,2′-bipyridine (0.92 g) were added to a solution of 4-nitro-1H-indole (0.96 g) in 1,2-dichloroethane (60 ml). The reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 7 days, and then further stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours. The insolubles were filtrated through celite, and then the resultant was washed successively with water and a saturated saline solution. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. The resultant residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (developing solvent:hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain 1-cyclopropyl-4-nitro-1H-indole as a yellow solid.
