The oxidative cleavage of indoles (Witkop oxidation) involving the use of H2O2 or urea hydrogen peroxide in combination with a polar solvent has been described. Among these solvents, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) stands out as the one affording the corresponding 2-ketoacetanilides generally in higher yields The protocol described has also enabled the oxidation of different pyrroles and furans derivatives. Furthermore, the procedure was implemented in a larger-scale and HFIP was distilled from the reaction mixture and reused (up to 4 cycles) without a significant detriment in the reaction outcome, which remarks its sustainability and applicability. (Figure presented.).

We have developed a novel method for the oxidative cleavage of indole carbon double bonds in the presence of H2O2 using plant cell cultures as peroxidase. The oxidative method has some advantage, as features such as mild reactions, good yields, easy work-up and safety.
