Abstract

A new catalytic system containing ferric chloride, activated carbon, and hydrazine has been proposed for the reductive cyclization of β-dialkylamino-2-nitrostyrenes to give the corresponding indoles (Leimgruber-Batcho synthesis). Various substituted indoles may be obtained in high yield under these conditions.
