Abstract
The chalcone formed from salicylaldehyde and indoxyl cyclises in warm trifluoroacetic acid to yield the 5-oxonia-11-azabenzo[b]fluorene cation (Ib). The constitution of this has been confirmed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide to the related flavone, [1]benzopyrano[3,2-b]indol-11-one (XI), also accessible by heating 2′-nitroflavone with ethyl phosphite.
