  • We've talked about a few heterocycles, but one important aromatic one we didn't mention is the indole. This is a component of a variety of biomolecules. So how can we make them? Nobel prize winner Emil Fischer developed the Fischer indole synthesis in 1882 to do precisely this, using aryl hydrazines and ketones. What's the mechanism? Is that a sigmatropic shift you spot in there? Yes it is! It's a fun one, check it out.

    I can't tell you how much I love random stuff on YT!!!
    One of the most basic things that my professional training taught me was that E.coli is an IELF, which is IND+ & CIT-
    (I know what this means, 'cos, you know, it was my job for over 40 years, but I have never thought to do a YT search for it.)
    ... Then, completely out-of-the-blue, I get a channel notification concerning indole synthesis...
    ... Thank you Prof, you just took me back to my youth.

    I definitely remember this synthesis, I think from 3rd year organic chemistry. I don't think we went so in depth on the mechanism for losing the nitrogen though. Very cool

    Very enlightening, as always, Professor Dave. I've read that indoles are, among other things, produced by the human gut and may have effects on regulating human emotions when reacting with tryptophan. I guess what I'm wondering is that since Fischer Indole Synthesis is an important thing, what are some practical uses for indoles?
