Abstract: | The reaction of 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethylene)indolin-3-one and 2-methyl-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-(N,N-dimethyl aminomethylene)-2-pyrrolin-4-one with acyl halides was used to synthesize immonium salts, the aqueous hydrolysis of which leads to 2-formyl-3-hydroxyindole and 4-hydroxy-5 formylpyrrole derivatives. -Cyano--(2-indolyl)- and -cyano--(5-pyrrolyl)acrylic acid derivatives were synthesized by reaction of immonium salts of the pyrrole series, 4 acyloxy-5-formylpyrrole and 2-formyl-3-acyloxyindole derivatives, with compounds that contain an active methylene group.See [1] for Communication 63.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 343–348, March, 1991. |
