5-Cyanoindole

Chemical Properties

Off-White Crystalline Powder

Uses

Reactant used for parallel synthesis of dihydroisoquinolines via silver and L-proline co-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction, preparation of novel PPARα/γ dual agonists for potential treatment of metabolic syndrome and IDDM, chemo selective and regioselective preparation of benzoyl indoles, 4,5-dihydrocyclopenta[c]quinolines by palladium-catalyzed ring-expansion reaction alkynes, using O2 as the oxidant and vinylindoles by hydroarylation of alkynes using indium bromide catalyst.

Purification Methods

Dissolve the nitrile in 95% EtOH, boil it in the presence of charcoal, filter, evaporate to a small volume and add enough H2O to cause crystallisation and cool. Recrystallise it directly from aqueous EtOH and dry it in a vacuum. UV has at max 276 nm (log 3.6) in MeOH. [Lindwall & Mantell J Org Chem 18 345 1953, 20 1458 1955, Thesing at al.
