Enol esters 3a and 3b , from cyclohexane‐1,3‐dione and pyrrole‐2‐carbonyl chloride and indole‐2‐carbonyl chloride, respectively, rearranged in the presence of triethylamine to the enamino acids 7 and 12 . In the presence of cyanide, 3b , also underwent the expected rearrangement to 4b , whereas only 7 was formed from 3a . Treatment of 7 with mercuric acetate in hot acetic acid resulted in decarboxylation and aromatization to phenol 9 .
