Reactions of Organic Anions, 147.- Simple and General Synthesis of Hydroxy- and Methoxyindoles via Vicarious Nucleophilic Substitution of Hydrogen

A simple synthesis of 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-hydroxy- and -methoxyindoles via cyanoalkylation of O-protected nitrophenols by vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen, followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the (2-nitroaryl)acetonitriles obtained is described.
