Indole Oxidation : the Dimer of 3-Hydroxy-2,3-dimethylindolenine'

摘要: Chemical and spectroscopic evidence for the structure 1 of dimer 3-hydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-indolenine is presented. This based mainly on a comparison properties reactions both its hexadeutero analog 13. The stereochemistry derived by consideration n.m.r. shielding that found X-ray analysis other investigators. various ways in which this can arise are discussed critically.
