Upstream Synthesis Route
  • The synthesis of 1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde can be achieved through several methods, however one common upstream synthetic route is as follows:
    
    1. Begin with 2-aminobenzaldehyde as the starting material.
    2. Undergo Fischer indole synthesis by reacting 2-aminobenzaldehyde with phenylhydrazine to produce the indole core structure.
    3. The resultant indole is then functionalized at the 2-position by introducing a formyl group through Vilsmeier-Haack formylation, using reagents such as phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).
    4. Careful work-up, typically involving hydrolysis and neutralization steps, will yield the desired 1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde.
    
    Further purification may be required to obtain the compound in high purity, such as recrystallization or column chromatography. This synthetic route allows for the introduction of substituents at different positions of the indole ring system if needed for specific applications.
