Treatment of benzocyclobutenols substituted on the functional carbon by the HN3/BF3-Et2O reagent allows the synthesis to the corresponding tertiary azides.The latter by acid-catalysed breakdown, lead to 2-substituted indoles.A similar result is obtained by treating directly the alcohols with hydrazoic acid and concentrated sulfuric acid.This new route to indole nucleus is also extended to the synthesis of policyclic indoles.

o-Bromo- and o-iodostyrene oxides are converted in fair to good yield to benzocyclobutenols upon treatment with n-BuLi and MgBr2 in THF or ether at -78 deg C, followed by warming to room temperature.The reaction involves initial halogen-lithium exchange followed either by MgBr2-initiated opening of the epoxide function to a haloalkoxide or rearrangement of the epoxide function to a ketone or aldehyde followed by cyclization.Benzocyclobutenol formation was not successful in the case of o-halostilbene oxides.
