Abstract

Abstract 3-(2′-Nitrovinyl) indoles 7—18 have been prepared in good yields by condensation of 3-formylindoles with nitroalkanes. Analyses of 1 H NMR data suggest that the indolic system has an extended conjugation through the ethylene double bond and the nitro group. 3-(2′-Methyl-2′-nitrovinyl) indole 9 and 2-methyl-3-(2′-methyl-2′-nitrovinyl) indole 13 show anti-fungal activity against Candida albicans similar to that of ...
