Procedure

A freshly prepared solution of cyanamide (0.48 g, 11.43 mmol) in water (1 ml) was added to a solution of 5-aminoindole (1.00 g, 7.56 mmol) in ethanol (5 ml). The mixture was treated with concentrated nitric acid (69%, 0.51 ml, 7.90 mmol) and then refluxed for 18 h. A further quantity of cyanamide (0.24 g, 5.71 mmol) was added and then heating continued for 5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with ethyl acetate and the resulting precipitate collected and washed with ethyl acetate then diethyl ether to give the title compound (1.67 g) as a brown solid m.p. 132-134°. δH (d6DMSO) 6.46 (1H, s), 6.92 (1H, dd, J 1.8, 8.5 Hz), 7.07 (4H, s), 7.43 (3H, m), 9.35 (1H, s), and 11.25 (1H, br s).
