Indole and N ‐methylindole react with oxa stabilized carbocations generated in situ from orthoformates to yield tris(3‐indolyl)methane. The unsymmetrical isomers, e.g. 2‐( N ‐methyl‐3‐indolyl)di( N ‐methyl‐3‐indolyl)‐methane ( 4 ), were not formed as established by an independent synthesis. N,N ‐Dimethylacetamide dimethyl‐acetal reacted with 2‐alkyl substituted indoles to produce 1,1‐bis(3‐indolyl)ethanes ( 3 ).
