2-methyl indole Lin USES and synthesis method
Chemical properties a colourless liquid. Boiling point for 228-229 °C, 116-116.5 °C (2.67 kPa), 100-101 °C (0.67 kPa), the relative density of 1.023, the refractive indexes, 1.5681, flash point 93 °C.
Use in organic synthesis. Is the dye cationic Yellow 7 GLL (C.I.B asic Yellow 21, C.I. 48060) intermediates. The dye good tolerance of the sun and washing fastness, acrylic fiber is mainly used for the dyeing.
Use used as dye, pharmaceutical intermediates
Production method by 2-methyl indole hydrogenation. Will 130 a 2-methyl indoles, 100 a water and zinc amalgam (196 copies made by zinc) mixture to 90 °C heat, add the 626 in 30 min a strong hydrochloric acid, and again in the 90-100 °C heat 90 min, add sodium hydroxide solution in the alkaline, distillation, distillate of things in benzene extraction. Have 2-methyl indole Lin.
