Trimerisation of indole and indole-3-carbaldehyde (Mechanism?)
« on: March 28, 2008, 09:14:40 AM »
Maybe somebody could explain the mechanism of the reaction between indole and indole-3-aldehyde, catalized by few drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid.(tri(1H-indol-3-yl)methane was obtained).
Attached please find the reaction.

Thanx.
