Abstract
The reaction of indoles with dialdehydes was studied for the first time. Mild reaction conditions using glacial acetic acid led to two novel kinds of reaction products: one designated as alkyl chain-connected tetraindoles and the other one as bis( indolyl)-substituted cycloalkane indoles. The suggested reaction pathways are discussed. The indole substituents of the cycloalkane indoles were either trans or cis orientated depending from the alkyl chain length.
