1,5,6,7-Tetrahydro-4H-indol-4-one, is a versatile building block used for the synthesis of more complex pharmaceutical compounds. It can be used for the preparation of Psammopemmin A.
Iodination of 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-indol-4-one using 1-chloromethyl--4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(tetra-fluoroborate) yields α-iodo derivative as the main product.
