Treatment of 16 α-amino acidesters with isoamyl nitrite in the presence of a small amount of organic acid in chloroform or benzene, followed by chromatographic purification on alumina was found to afford the corresponding α-substituted-α-diazo esters (1) in fairly good yields.

A novel method for synthesizing arylhydrazones, the precursor for Fischer indole synthesis, using aryllithium reagents and α-diazo esters that are easily obtained from α-aminoacid esters, is described.

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
Hydrazones obtained from alpha-diazo esters were converted to pyrroles when heated with thionyl chloride in alcohol. Among hydrazones, those substituted with a benzene ring on the beta-carbon to the ester are likely to give pyrroles in good yields. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
