TLDR
Indoles display a diverse pattern of reactivity upon reaction with different classes of aminobenzaldehydes as discussed by the authors, showing that the acid-promoted reaction with secondary amnobenzaldehyde leads to indole annulation followed by spontaneous oxidation to neocryptolepine and analogues.
Abstract
Indoles display a diverse pattern of reactivity upon reaction with different classes of aminobenzaldehydes. Whereas the acid-promoted reaction with secondary aminobenzaldehyde leads to indole annulation followed by spontaneous oxidation to neocryptolepine and analogues, the reaction with primary aminobenzaldehydes results in the formation of synthetically useful quinolinesvia a remarkably facile indole ring-opening.
