We reinvestigated the reported method for the synthesis of ethyl 3-[5-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methylvinyloxy)-1-methyl-1-indol-3-yl]-but-2-enoate (MIBE), which was obtained by the reaction of 5-hydroxy-1-methyl-1-indole with excess ethyl acetoacetate catalyzed by indium(III) chloride. Based on the NMR and MS data, we assigned the structure of the isolated product as (3)-3-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylidene)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7-hydroxy-1,4-dimethylcyclopent[]indole-1-acetate rather than the reported MIBE.
我们重新研究了报道的3-[5-(2-乙氧羰基-1-甲基乙烯氧基)-1-甲基-1-吲哚-3-基]丁酸乙酯(MIBE)的合成方法,该方法是通过5-羟基-1-甲基-1-吲哚与过量乙酰乙酸乙酯在氯化铟(III)催化下反应得到的。基于核磁共振(NMR)和质谱(MS)数据,我们将分离得到的产物结构确定为(3)-3-(2-乙氧基-2-氧代亚乙基)-1,2,3,4-四氢-7-羟基-1,4-二甲基环戊并[]吲哚-1-乙酸酯,而非报道的MIBE。
