Abstract

The reactions of indole with nitrosobenzene in the presence of acetic, monochloroacetic, monobromoacetic and trichloroacetic acid afford as the main product a deep-green precipitate, which in a preceding study had been erroneously identified as the aminyl radical of a trimer indole. The identity of the minor products was confirmed. This paper deals with the determination of the correct structure of the compounds contained in the precipitate through a study based on chemical reactions, electrochemical measurements and X-ray analysis.
