Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The Wittig reaction with indole-3-aldehyde and its N-acetyl derivative has been studied. Data are presented on the influence of various factors on the formation of the unsaturated compound. Some hypotheses are put forward concerning the reactivity of indole-3-aldehydes under the conditions of this reaction. The previously unknown α-(indol-3-yl)-β-phenylethylene has been obtained with a yield of 54%.
