2,3,3‐Trimethylindolenine and 5‐chloro‐2,3,3‐trimethylindolenine were converted into β‐diformyl compounds by the action of the Vilsmeier reagent at 50°C. The dialdehydes reacted with various arylhydrazines and 2‐pyridylhydrazine to produce mono‐hydrazones as mixtures of cis and trans isomers. Heating the hydrazones in refluxing ethanol produced 3,3‐dimethyl‐2‐(1‐aryl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐3H‐indoles in excellent yields. Reaction of the β‐diformyl compounds with hydrazine itself led directly to 3,3‐dimethyl‐2‐(pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐3H‐indoles.
in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).5-Hydrazinoquinoline and 8-hydrazinoquinoline were converted via Fischer syntheses with 3-methylbutan-2-one into pyrido-indolenines 2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-f]quinoline 7 and 2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-pyrrolo[3,2-h]quinoline 11, respectively. Exposure of the indolenines to the Vilsmeier reagent produced aminomethylene-malondialdehydes 8 and 12, which reacted with hydrazine or arylhydrazines to give 4-(3H-pyrrolo[2,3-f]quinolin-2-yl)-and 4-(3H-pyrrolo[3,2-h]quinolin-2-yl)-pyrazoles, 9 and 13.
2-(5-Chloro-2-phenoxyphenyl)hydrazine was converted to corresponding 3H-indole by Fischer method utilizing the isopropyl methyl ketone in acetic acid. The reaction of 3H-indole with Vilsmeier-Haack reagent furnished aminomethylene malonaldehyde in excellent yield while the reactions of malonaldehyde with hydrazine, arylhydrazines, amines, cyanoacetamide and hydroxylamine hydrochloride, led to the corresponding pyrazole derivatives, enamines, cyanopyridone, and cyanoacetamide derivatives respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
