Aryl hydrazones, the precursor of Fischer indole synthesis, were easily obtained by nucleophilic addition of aryllithium reagents to diazo esters. The aryl hydrazones were converted into indoles in good yields by heating with thionyl chloride in alcohol. Grignard reagent was also a good nucleophile, whereas organozinc reagent did not react with diazo esters. Aryllithium reagents were prepared by reacting
