Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/s10593-007-0163-1

A study was carried out on the reactions of 4-amino-2,3-dimethyl-and 4-amino-1,2,3-trimethylindoles with acetylacetone, dibenzoylmethane, ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl trifluoroacetoacetate, and ethyl oxaloacetate. Methods were developed for the synthesis of a series of substituted pyrrolo-[2,3-h] quinolines.
