Abstract
IN continuation of earlier work1 on the inhibition of bacterial growth by substituted indoles and tryptophans, we have undertaken the synthesis, for ultimate biological investigation, of the four hitherto unknown bz-chloro-indoles and the derived tryptophans. The recent publication by Uhle2 of a synthesis of 4-chloro-indole makes it desirable to put on record our own. syntheses of the isomeric 5-, 6- and 7-chloro-indoles.
