Studies directed at the synthesis of (Z)-5-benzylidene-4-arylpyrrol-2(5H)-ones from (Z)-3-aryl-3-haloenoic acids are described.

Tetrazole compounds. 10. Novel tetrazolylindoles by fischer indolization of substituted tetrazolylacetaldehyde phenylhydrazones

The acid-catalyzed reaction of substituted phenylhydrazines 1 with 1-aryl-5-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)-1H-tetrazoles 2 afforded (1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)acetaldehyde phenylhydrazones 3 which on heating in acetic acid/perchloric acid underwent a Fischer indolization to give substituted 3-(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-indoles 4a-k.
