Abstract
A previously unknown (in the indole series) rearrangement of the semidine type leading leading to the formation of 1-methyl-2-arylamino-3-acetamidoindoles, the oxidation of which gives 1-methylisatin α-anils, occurs when 1-methyl-3-arylazoindoles are treated with zinc in acetic acid in the presence of acetic anhydride and sodium acetate. Data from the UV, IR, and PMR spectra are presented.
