摘要

Oxidative cleavage of 3-methylindole using a catalytic amount of copper (II) salts with added pyridine under an oxygen atmosphere was studied. Smooth cleavage of 3-methylindole took place to give 2-formamidoacetophenone in 73–80% yield, whereas exclusive formation of a hydrate compound derived from 3, 3′-dimethyl-3, 3′-bi-3H-indole resulted under anaerobic conditions. Clean oxidative cleavage of N-acetyltryptamine, methyl 3- ...
