Preparation method of indole-7-methyl formate
Technical Field

Background
Indole-7-carboxylic acid methyl ester, english name: methyl 1H-indole-7-carboxylate, CAS 93247-78-0. Indole is one of the most widely separated heterocyclic compounds in nature, and can be used in the fields of natural medicine total synthesis, medicine synthesis, dyes, fragrances, food and feed additives, pesticides and the like. Indole-7-methyl formate is an important pharmaceutical intermediate, and can be synthesized into compounds with physiological and pharmacological activities. The C7 ester group in the indole-7-methyl formate can be further chemically modified, so that the functional compounds such as C7 hydroxyethyl, amide and the like can be prepared. At present, the synthesis of the C7-position indole mainly adopts a Batch o-Leimgruber indole synthesis method, and the synthesis method is suitable for the synthesis of the C4-7-position indole derivative, such as the preparation of the C4-7-position indole derivative by the reaction of o-nitrotoluene and N, N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal, and then reduction and cyclization.
The literature [ Journal of Organic Chemistry,1997, vol.62, #17, p.5838-5845] adopts 3-methyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester as a raw material, and uses bromination, triphenylphosphine to replace to wittig salt, and adopts formaldehyde gas to eliminate and cyclize to synthesize indole-7-methyl formate in four steps, so that the yield is low, and dangerous solvents such as carbon tetrachloride and expensive reagents such as palladium acetate are used. The reaction equation is as follows:
the literature [ Organic Letters,2006, vol.8, #10, p.2167-2170] uses 1-bromo-2-nitrobenzene as a raw material, reacts with a vinyl grignard reagent to obtain 7-bromoindole, and then undergoes a carbonyl insertion reaction to obtain indole-7-methyl formate, the yield is 56%, a palladium catalyst and a ligand are used, high-pressure synthesis of carbon monoxide is required, and the equipment requirement is high, wherein the cost of the palladium catalyst is high, and the method is not applicable to industrial production. The reaction equation is as follows:
aiming at the defects of the method, the preparation method provided by the invention has the advantages of simple and convenient flow, high product quality, no heavy metal residue and higher total yield, and is suitable for factory production so as to meet the increasing market demands.
