“…Many of these reactions are complicated by competing N -alkylation of the indole. In spite of this issue, a number of acid promoted [45,46,47], base promoted [48,49,50,51,52,53,54], and transition metal catalyzed [55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64] transformations have been described to access indolenines from 3-substituted indoles.…”
