A Study of the Claisen—Eschenmoser Reaction for Hydroxymethylbenzofurans and ‐indoles.

Abstract

A Study of the Claisen-Eschenmoser Reaction for Hydroxymethylbenzofurans and -indoles. -The reaction of benzofurans (I) with acetal (II) leads to products of the Claisen-Eschenmoser rearrangement (III). The reactions of indole (IV) and carbazole (VI) proceed with attachment of the dimethylacetamide residue to the C atom bearing the hydroxy group. -(MUKHANOVA, T. I.; KUKUSHKIN, S. Y.; IVANOV, P.
