Introduction | Ethyl 5-nitroindole-2-formate is yellow to brown powder and can be used as an organic intermediate. |
Use | Ethyl 5-nitroindole-2-carboxylate is used as a reagent for the synthesis of indole-2-ylethyl ketone, as a new type of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor. Ethyl 5-nitroindole-2-carboxylate is also a useful synthetic intermediate for the synthesis of diheteroarylpiperazine (BHAP) reverse transcriptase inhibitor davilvidine. |
preparation | 80mL ethanol, 7.2g( 40mmol) 5-nitroindole -2-carboxylic acid were added to a 250mL three-neck bottle, 1.0mL concentrated sulfuric acid was slowly added dropwise at room temperature, dripping was completed, and reflux reaction was carried out for 30h( TLC tracking). At the end of the reaction, concentrate to 30mL, pour into 60mL of water, extract twice with 20mL of diethyl ether, wash the diethyl ether layer once with 5% sodium carbonate solution, then wash to neutral with water, dry anhydrous magnesium sulfate, evaporate the diethyl ether to obtain 7.7g of yellow to brown powder 5-nitroindole -2-carboxylate with 92.3% yield. |
