Abstract

Abstract: The reactions of o-iodoaniline (1) with the enolate anions from acetone (2), acetophenone (4), 2-acetylnaphthalene (6), 2-acetyl-1-methylpyrrole (8a) and 2- acetylthiophene (8b) in DMSO give respectively the corresponding 2-substituted indoles in 63, 88, 73, 93 and 82% yields. These reactions are proposed to take place by an SRN1 mechanism. Depending on the ketone enolate ion involved, the reactions can occur under ...
