Abstract
Abstract The UV irradiation of 2- and 3-methylindoles in acetic acid leads to the formation of the corresponding indole-carboxaldehydes as the major products, whereas the employment of ethanol as solvent causes the cleavage of the C 2 2-C 3 bond, giving o -acylaminophenylketones. Some aspects of these photo-reactions are discussed.
