As a common heterocyclic compound, it belongs to chiral-nitrogen-ligands compound, name is 3,4-Di(1H-indol-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione, and cas is 119139-23-0, its synthesis route is as follows.
EXAMPLE 27 40 mg of a 60% suspension of sodium hydride in mineral oil was added to a solution of 327 mg of 3,4-bis-(3-indolyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione in 5 ml of DMF at 0 C. under nitrogen. After 0.5 hour the mixture was cooled to -20 C. and 108 mg of trimethylsilyl chloride were added. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature, then cooled to 0 C. and then a further 80 mg of sodium hydride were added thereto. After 0.5 hour at 0 C. 116 mg of propylene oxide were added and the mixture was stirred overnight. 5 ml of water were added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase was dried and evaporated. The residue was purified on silica gel with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether. Recrystallization from diethyl ether/petroleum ether gave 30 mg of 3,4-bis[1-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-indolyl]-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione, m.p. 133-135 C.
This compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,119139-23-0,3,4-Di(1H-indol-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione,its application will become more common.
