Methanal Extrusion in ipso-Substitution Reactions of Hydroxymethylindoles
Keyword(s):
A range of 3-hydroxymethylindoles undergo acid-catalysed reactions involving ipso-electrophilic substitution with the extrusion of methanal and the formation of diindolylmethane moieties. Both inter- and intramolecular processes lead to macrocyclic compounds 10 and 14.
