Abstract:
Alkylation of indole salts in different ionic liquids is reported. Ionic liquids increase the alkylation reaction rate of
ambident indole anion and reduce the effects of counter ions and/or additives, the alkylation reaction rates being independent
of the presence of small amounts of protic solvents or water.
