“…We showed that the interaction of 2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indoles with the Vilsmeier reagent produces (1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2H-indol-2-ylidene)propanedials (Baradarani et al, 2006) (Rashidi et al, 2009), 2,2′,3,3,3′,3′-hexamethyl-3H,3′H-5,5′-biindole and 2,3,3,7,8,8hexamethyl-3H,8H-indolo[7,6-g]indole (Rashidi et al, 2011) behave analogously. The (1,3-dihydroindol-2-ylidene)propanedials were shown to react with arylhydrazines (or hydrazine) to produce 3,3-dimethyl-2-[1-aryl-1Hpyrazol-4-yl]-3H-indoles (Baradarani et al, 2006;Rashidi et al, 2009;Helliwell et al 2010;Rashidi et al, 2011).…”
