Reaction Steps

Indole (45.3 g, 0.38 mol), 1,4-cyclohexanedione monoethylene ketal (45.5 g, 0.29 mol) and potassium hydroxide (9.12 g, 0.16 mol) are heated to reflux in 100 mL of methanol for 18 hours. The reaction is cooled and the product is isolated by filtration and washed with water to give a white solid (69.0 g).
