Participants

Reaction Steps

Following a procedure similar to that described in Example 3, part B above, 3.6 g (0.01 mole) of 2,4-bis(2-methyl-3-indolyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid (described above in Example 10, part A) and 2.12 g (0.01 mole) of 2-phenylindole were interacted to obtain 0.26 g of 3,5-bis(2-methyl-3-indolyl)-5-(2-phenyl-3-indolyl)-2(5H)-furanone (Formula III: R=R2 =Y=Y1 =H; R1 =CH3 ; R3 =C6H5), a pale blue-colored powder which melted in the range of 204°-215° C.
