Abstract
The deformylation of indole and azaindole-3-carboxaldehydes was achieved in the presence of anthranilamide and a solid acid heterogeneous catalyst under reflux conditions in 25–90% yield. The reaction proceeds via quinazolinone intermediate, which undergoes acid catalyzed cleavage to form deformylated product.
