Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-benzhydryl-6-chloro-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde (0.5M, 1 equiv.) and NH4OAc (1 equiv.) in nitromethane was heated at 95° C. for 70 min. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water, and dried. Evaporation of the volatiles, followed by trituration with ether/hexane produced 1-Benzhydryl-6-chloro-2-(2-nitro-vinyl)-1H-indole in 48% yield.
