Abstract

Abstract N, N-Dimethylacetamide dimethyl acetal reacted with 5 (7)-substituted 2-(hydroxy- methyl) benzofurans to give N, N-dimethyl-2-(2-methylbenzofuran-3-yl) acetamides. Analogous reactions with 3-(hydroxymethyl) indole and 1-hydroxy-6-methyl-1, 2, 3, 4- tetrahydro-carbazole afforded N, N-dimethyl-3-(3-indolyl) propionamide and N, N-dimethyl-2- (6-methyl-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydrocarbazol-1-yl) acetamide, respectively.
