Introduction | 2-methylindole is a pharmaceutical intermediate, which can be prepared from aniline and 1, 2-propanediol was obtained by one-step synthesis. It has been reported in the literature that 2-methylindole can be used as a starting material for the preparation of the deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor panobinostat. |
purpose | used as organic analytical reagent and fixative used as organic synthesis reagent, dye intermediate is used in organic synthesis and can be used as fixative in perfume industry. for the regioselective synthesis of oxapyrrolidine analogs by the iodine-catalyzed Markovnikov addition reaction; For the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction; For the preparation of the dioxygenase inhibitor pyridyl-vinylindole, as a potential anti-cancer immunomodulator; For the preparation of plant growth inhibitors; For the Michael addition reaction; Synthesis of cyclooxygenase type 1 (COX-1)/cyclooxygenase type 2 (COX-2) inhibitors |
production method | N-acetyl-o-toluidine was prepared by the following procedure. N-acetyl-o-toluidine is added to the mixture of anhydrous diethyl ether and sodium amino acid, heated to 240-260 ℃ under the protection of nitrogen flow for 10min, the reaction generates a large amount of gas, and the reaction ends when the gas stops escaping, cooling. Ethanol and warm water were added, and the resulting sodium derivative of 2-methylindole and excess sodium amino acid were decomposed by heating. After cooling, it was extracted with ether. The extract was concentrated and distilled to obtain 2-methylindole in a yield of 0.4-0.53 by collecting a fraction at 119-126 ° C. (80%-83% kPa). The product can be purified by recrystallization from methanol. |
