摘要
The mechanisms of the 2,3-dimethylindole (1) oxidation to 3-methylindole-2-carbaldehyde (3) by peroxodisulfate and peroxomonosulfate anions have been investigated in H2SO4/20 % v/v methanol-water solutions. Because indolenines have been postulated as intermediates in the oxidation of some indole derivatives, we have also analyzed the reactivity of 3-hydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-3H-indole (2a) with both peroxo anions. From these and previous studies, it is concluded that the reactions proceed in three steps: electrophilic attack of the peroxidic bond at the C-3 atom of indole to form the indolenine intermediate, a second peroxo anion attack on the enamine tautomer of this intermediate followed by hydrolysis to give 3-methylindole-2-carbaldehyde (3).
