— Acylation of title compound (I) with carboxylic acid chlorides using AlCl3 as the catalyst and nitromethane as the solvent results in formation of 5-acylated derivatives (III) with good regioselectivity. Following hydrolysis and decarboxylation leads to 5-acylindoles in a convenient manner. — (LI, J.; LI, B.; CHEN, X.; ZHANG*, G.; Synlett 2003, 10, 1447-1450; Chengdu Inst. Biol., Chin. Acad.
