Water → 1-Methyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.047 g of sodium hydride and then 73 μl of methane iodide are added to a solution of 0.3 g of 3-(4-nitro-phenyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide in 8 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide under argon. The reaction mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours and 45 ml of water are added. The solid formed is filtered off, washed with 3 times 15 ml of water, and filter-dried. After drying under vacuum, 0.22 g of 1-methyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide are obtained, the characteristics of which are as follows:
