Abstract
Methoxy-substituted acetaldehyde phenylhydrazones were cyclized in the vapor phase on a GIPKh-115 catalyst to give 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-methoxyindoles. 5-Methoxyindole was obtained in 50% yield, 4- and 6-methoxyindoles were obtained in 85% yield, and 7-methoxyindole was obtained in 45% yield.
