Abstract
Abstract 5-Methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid and its methyl ester have been subjected to reaction with N,N-dichlorourethane (DCU) in acetic acid. both glacial and aqueous. The probable role of water in these substitution reactions has been elucidated. Novel chlorinated isatins and oxindoles have been obtained and reaction mechanisms for their formation suggested.
