Abstract
The reaction of N-acetylindoxyl hydrazone with ketones in alcohol gave N-acetylindoxyl alkylindenehydrazones, which were converted to pyrrolo[3,2-b]indole derivatives by treatment with glacial acetic acid. Pyrrolo[3,2-b]indole derivatives were also obtained in the reaction of N-acetylindoxyl hydrazone with ketones in glacial acetic acid. The structures of the synthesized products were confirmed by data from the IR, UV, PMR, and mass spectra.
