Ishii, H. published the artcileFischer indolization and its related compounds. VII. Development of abnormal Fischer indolization of o-methoxyphenylhydrazone to provide a synthetic method for useful indole derivatives possessing an active methine group at C-6 and novel 3,6′-biindole derivatives, SDS of cas: 20538-12-9, the publication is Tetrahedron (1973), 29(14), 1991-2003, database is CAplus.
o-MeOC6H4NHN:CMeCO2Et (I) with p-MeC6H4SO3H in C6H6 in the presence of MeCOCH2COR (R = Me and OEt) gave Et 6-(1-acetyl-2-oxopropyl)indole-2-carboxylate (II, R = Me) and Et α-acetyl-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)indole-6-acetate (II, R = OEt), resp. Under similar conditions, I with Et 6-chloroindole-2-carboxylate gave di-Et 6-chloro-3,6′-biindole-2,2′-dicarboxylate (III, R = Cl, R1 = OH) and Et 5-(p-tolylsulfonyloxy)indole-2-carboxylate. Similarly, I with Et 7-methoxyindole-2-carboxylate gave di-Et 7-methoxy-4,6′-biindole-2,2′-dicarboxylate and III (R = H, R1 = OMe).
