Abstract
The reaction of indole with benzenediazonium chloride at pH values from 1 to 12 has been studied. The main product of the reaction at pH 6–12 is 3-phenylazoindole. The coupling reaction is accompanied by the arylation of the indole and the formation of 2-phenyl-3-phenylazoindole. The main product of the reaction at pH 1–4 is 2,2-di(indol-3′-yl)indoxyl.
