The Fischer Reaction in the Synthesis of 2,3-Disubstituted 7-Azaindoles*

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

We present the results of our study towards the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted 7-azaindoles by cyclization of 2-pyridylhydrazones of aliphatic and alkylaromatic ketones under the conditions of Fischer reaction, catalyzed by polyphosphoric acid.
