4 H ‐Furo[3,2‐ b ]indole (III) was prepared from deoxygenation of 2‐(2‐nitrophenyl)furan (II) with triethyl phosphite and thermolysis of 2‐(2‐azidophenyl)furan (VI). 4 H ‐ or 4‐alkylfuro [3,2 ‐b ]indole‐2‐carboxaldehydes (VIII, IXa ‐c ) were obtained by Vilsmeier formylation of the corresponding furo[3,2‐ b ]indoles (III, VIIa ‐c ). 4 H ‐Furo[3,2‐ b ]indole‐2‐carboxaldehyde (VIII) was submitted to the Cannizzaro, Wittig and reduction reactions. The Shiff's bases were obtained by the reaction of 4‐ethylfuro[3,2‐ b ]indole‐2‐carboxaldehyde (IXb) with amines. J. Heterocyclic Chem. , 14, 975 (1977)
