Abstract
Hydroxy-2,3-dimethylindole (1) has been prepared for the first time. Under atmospheric oxygen, 1 was converted rapidly into 3-hydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-3H-indole N-oxide (2). The structure was deduced, based on its products obtained by the reaction with Ac2O in pyridine and confirmed by X-ray single crystallographic analysis.
