Abstract

ABSTRACT Different nitrating reagents give different ratios of 5-and 7-nitro isomers of the title indolines. The best ratio of the 7-nitro isomer was obtained with claycop–acetic anhydride, and these conditions were particularly useful for preparation of a photolabile l- glutamate derivative.
