Abstract

Many naturally occurring indoles possess important biological activity.'-'On the other hand, synthetic indoles with substituents at various positions have been used extensively in medicine and pharmacology?* 6* 6 as well as in ho1ography. l Thus, the development of new, efficient method~ l-'*~-~ o that lead to indoles is necessary. Herein, we report two novel methods for the synthesis of indoles which allow easy functionaliiation at almost all ...
