Abstract
Abstract The N-1 BOC protected precursors of 6-(fluoromethyl) indole and 6-(difluoromethyl) indole were prepared and deprotected via flash vacuum thermolysis. The stability of these newly prepared, unprotected indole derivatives has been characterized and compared to that of a previously known compound, 6-(trifluoromethyl) indole.
