Abstract
A simple method is described for the construction of the pyrylium ring fused to furans and indoles, by the acylation of 2-methyl-5-acetonylfuran, 3-acetonylindole and its 1-alkyl derivatives with acid anhydrides in presence of 70% perchloric acid. The previously unknown furano[3, 2-c]-and indolo[2, 3-c]pyrylium salts are prepared. A method for the preparation of 4-methyl-harman and its alkyl homolog has been developed.
