Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown that the decarboxylation of 2-hydroxybenz[f]indolequinone-3-carboxylic acids and the demethylation of 2-methoxybenz[f]indolequinone are accompanied by oxidative dimerization and lead to the 3,3′-dimers of 2-hydroxybenz[f]indolequinones.
