  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

Under the action of acetic anhydride in the presence of equimolecular amounts of 70% perchloric acid, methylindoles form perchlorates of the 3H-indole form of 3-acetylindoles and these are converted by treatment with bases into the corresponding 3-acetylindoles in high yields.
