Abstract

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the structure and reactivity of pyrroles and benzo derivatives. New data was obtained on the stability of the previously uncharacterized 3H-tautomer of indole. Photodecomposition of 1 in diethyl ether generated a mixture of 3H-indole and the enol of acetophenone. 3H-indole can also be generated by photolysis of indoline in aqueous solution. The 3H-tautomer is formed by disproportionation of the 2-indolinyl radical that is generated by electrontransfer. The chapter also discusses the synthesis of pyrroles and benzo derivatives.
