1-Bromopropane → 5-Nitro-1-propylindoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.51 g (12.79 mmoles) of 60% NaH is added, at 20° C., by portions, to a solution of 2 g (12.18 mmoles) of 5-nitroindoline in 16 ml of anhydrous DMF. After stirring for a further 30 minutes, 2.32 ml (25.58 mmoles) of 1-bromopropane is added dropwise. Stirring is maintained overnight and the reaction mixture is finally diluted with 50 ml of water and 50 ml of AcOEt. After stirring and decanting, the organic phase is successively washed with 25 ml of water and 25 ml of salt water, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness under vacuum. The evaporation residue is then purified on a silica column (eluent: Heptane/AcOEt: 9/1). Orange oil.
