Abstract

Results The indoles studied in the present work were 2-alkylindoles (R′= methyl, 5; R′= tert-butyl, 6; R′= phenyl, 7), 1, 2-dialkylindoles (R= R′= methyl, 8; R= ethyl, R′= phenyl, 9)(Scheme 1), 2, 3-dialkylindoles (R= R′= methyl, 14a; R= R′= phenyl 14b; see Scheme 2) and 1-hydroxy-2-phenylindole 16. All indoles were reacted in the presence of oxygen with m-chloroperbenzoic acid and hydrogen peroxide using trichloroacetic acid or calcium ...
