โฆ Synopsis
The chemistry of tryptophyl tosylates has been investigated in connection with the synthetic studies of the indole alkaloids (1). However, the reaction of 2-(2indolyl)ethyl tosylates has not yet been studied. This paper dears with the reactions of these tosylates with the conjugate bases of ethyl cyano-and acetoacetates.
Ethyl 2-indolylacetate has been synthesized by Giuliano and Stein (2) and by Schindler (3).
Ethyl esters of unsubstituted, 5-methoxy-, and 7-methoxy-2-indolyl-
