Ethyl 5-nitroindole-2-carboxylate Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Uses
Ethyl 5-Nitroindole-2-carboxylate is used as a reagent in the synthesis of indol-2-yl ethanones as novel indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitors. Ethyl 5-Nitroindole-2-carboxylate is also a useful synthetic intermediate in the synthesis of Delavirdine which is a bisheteroarylpiperazine (BHAP) reverse transcriptase inhibitor.

Synthesis
73647-04-8
16732-57-3
To a dry 500 mL three-necked flask, ethyl 2-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydrazinylidene]propionate (10 g, 0.042 mol) was added sequentially. Polyphosphoric acid (110 g) was slowly heated to 100 °C under mechanical stirring. The reaction was maintained at this temperature for 2 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). After confirming the completion of the reaction, the heating was stopped. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the reaction was quenched by slowly pouring it into a large amount of ice water. The precipitate was collected by filtration and the filter cake was washed with cold water. The resulting green solid product, ethyl 5-nitroindole-2-carboxylate, was dried in a vacuum drying oven to give 8.9 g in 90.2% yield.
