Abstract

The reaction of 2-(chloromethyl) phenyl isocyanides, readily available by dehydration of the respective N-[2-(chloromethyl) phenyl] formamides, with organolithiums produced 2- substituted indoles in satisfactory yields through addition of organolithiums to the isocyano carbon followed by intramolecular substitution reaction of the resulting imidoyl anion intermediates.
