Abstract
Abstract 3-(4′-Chlorophenyl)-4,6-dimethoxyindole 1 undergoes reaction with oxalyl chloride to give the corresponding 2-and 7-glyoxyloyl chloride derivatives in differing proportions depending on the solvent and reaction temperature. The glyoxyloyl chlorides 2 and 3 were converted into the related glyoxylic acids, and also a wide range of glyoxylic esters and amides 4 and 5 respectively.
