Transformations of 3-formylindoles under the action of acids
Korolev,Yudina,Lazhko,Reznikova,Preobrazhenskaya
, p. 561 - 569 (1999)
Under the influence of acids 3-formylindole forms urorosein (the salt of di(indol-3-yl)methylium) which is unstable in solution and decomposes to give a series of indole derivatives, among which 6-(indol-3-yl)-5H,7H-indolo[2,3-b]carbazole and tri(indol-3-yl)methylium salt predominate. N,N′-Dimethylurorosein in solution also forms a mixture of indole derivatives, from which tri(1-methylindol-3-yl)methylium salt, 5N,11N-dimethylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole and its 6-(1-methylindol-3-yl) derivative were isolated. 1999 KluwerAcademic/Plenum Publishers.

Page/Page column 65, (2010/04/23)
Compounds useful as antibacterial agents are provided. The compounds are analogs of indole-3-carbinol and have a backbone selected from dihydroindolo[2,3-b]carbazole, 2,2'-diindolylmethane, 2',3-diindolylmethane, and 3,3'-diindolylmethane. The compounds are useful therapeutic and prophylactic treatment of bacterial infections in mammals. Methods of synthesis of the compounds are provided, as are pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds.
