The experimental discovery of a significant modification of a chemical reaction has always been considered a noteworthy achievement. As shown below, four modifications of the indolinedione-indole rearrangement and three modifications of the synthesis of β-diketones provide evidence for the usefulness of the complementarity principle [1] for the discovery of such specific reactions.
