Synthesis ofN1‐nitroso‐3‐nitromethylindole: A nonvolatileN‐nitroso compound isolated from the nitrosation of the alkaloid gramine

Abstract
An approach to the synthesis of N 1‐nitroso‐3‐nitromethylindole, a nitrosation product of the alkaloid gramine, is described. The method involves a few reaction steps starting from indole‐3‐carbinol.
