The general method of indole synthesis by way of 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindoles (I) was extended by a variety of electrophilic substitution reactions, including bromination, nitration, acylation, and formylation. An order of selective substitution was established as follows: C-2 > C-3 > C-5, except in certain Vilsmeier-Haack formylations of 2-substituted compounds. When the pyrrole ring of a I was substituted with a strong electron-withdrawing group, electrophilic substitution was diverted to C-5. Most of the 6,7-dihydroindoles prepared in this investigation could be dehydrogenated to the fully aromatic indoles, but many of the new I were resistant to dehydrogenation. Vilsmeier-Haack formylation of certain I led directly to fully aromatic indoles which had a 4-chloro-5-(dimethylaminomethyl) pattern of substitution.
