Abstract

The 3-unsubstituted indoles 1a, 1b, and 1c react with triethyl orthoacetate in dichloromethane by means of proton catalysis to form the stable 3-indolyl-methyl-ethoxycarbenium tetrafluoroborates 2a, 2b, and 2c, respectively. The cationic species represent key compounds for interesting subsequent reactions including further functionalization of the indole skeleton.
