Two reaction systems have been developed for the decarboxylation of indole-3-carboxylic acids. The decarboxylation can be achieved smoothly under K2CO3-catalyzed or acetonitrile-promoted basic conditions. It provided an efficient and simple method for the transformation of indole-3-carboxylic acids and the corresponding indoles were isolated with good to excellent yields. From the experimental facts, we put forward the possible reaction mechanism.

The invention discloses a method for preparing indole and derivatives of indole. The method for preparing indole and the derivatives of indole is characterized by comprising the following two steps that (1) a catalyst, a ligand and alkali are added in a reaction tube, under the protection of nitrogen, beta-hydroxy ketone or ester is reacted with a mixed solution of o-nitro aryl halides for 3 to 8h in an oil bath pan at the temperature of 90 to 120 DEG C, and then cooled to room temperature after reaction, and extracted, washed, dried and subjected to chromatography to obtain a product of o-nitro alpha-aryl ketone or ester; (2) o-nitro alpha-aryl ketone or ester obtained in the step (1), a reducing agent system and a solvent are added to the reaction tube, and reacted for 3 to 8h at the temperature of 60 to 100 DEG C, and then extracted, washed, dried and subjected to chromatography after being reacted to obtain a target product of indole and the derivatives of indole. Reaction raw materials, the catalyst, the ligand, the alkali and the solvent used in the invention are all industrial commodities, and simple and readily available, wide in sources, cheap in price, and further very stable in performances, and with no need for special storage conditions; in addition, the method for preparing indole and the derivatives of indole disclosed by the invention has the characteristics of low cost, high yield, simple process, less pollution and the like.
