Application | 7-methylindole is an indole derivative. Indole and its derivatives are important organic raw materials and chemical products. They are widely used in the preparation of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes, spices, plant growth regulators and feed additives. 7-methylindole is a reactant for the synthesis of α-amino amides, which are present in a variety of biologically active compounds. |
preparation | weigh 10mmol of 2-methylaniline and mmol of AlCl3 in a reaction flask, dissolve in of tetrahydrofuran, to the reaction flask was added 30mmol of ethylene oxide at 0 °c. The reaction was maintained at 0 °c and stirred for 10H. After isolation and purification, n-hydroxyethyl-2-methylaniline was obtained (yield 83.1%). Weigh 5mmol of n-hydroxyethyl-2-methylaniline and 7.5mmol of 2-methylaniline in a reaction flask, dissolve in 200ml of acetonitrile, add Sn/activated carbon supported catalyst, the reaction was stopped after complete reaction of n-hydroxyethyl-2-methylaniline by TLC. After isolation and purification, 7-methylindole was obtained (yield 64.3%). |
