Abstract

Of the many synthetic avenues to 2-unsubstituted indoles available, classical approaches including the Reissert,'Fischer? and Rees-Moody3 routes require subsequent removal of the 2-carboxyl function. Several procedures have been reported to effect this problematic transformation with widely ranging degrees of efficiency. 4-Problems encountered during the process usually stem from decomposition of the product under prolonged thermolysis ...
