抄録: Nucleophilic substitution reaction of 1-methoxy-6-nitroindole (1) was examined. In the reaction with sodium methoxide or sodium cyanide as a nucleophile, 2-and 3-methoxy-6- nitroindoles, and 7-cyano-6-nitroindole were obtained, respectively. A novel methylene homologation at the 3-position was found in the reaction of 1 with sodium methyl sulfide or potassium salt of diethyl malonate to give 3-methylthiomethytyl-6-nitroindole and its 2- ...
