Dialkylindoles. The Fischer indole synthesis can be conducted in one flask by heating a ketone and phenylhydrazine hydrochloride in acetic acid at 90°. ... 

Experiment. E. Fischer s Indole Synthesis.—Mix 2 g. of phenylhydrazine with 2 c.c. of acetone in a test tube. Water is eliminated and a turbidity appears. Suspend the tube in the boiling water bath for forty-five minutes, then add 6 g. of dry zinc chloride and heat the mixture for a few minutes with stirring in an oil bath at 180°. Now wash the dark-coloured melt into a small round-bottomed flask with four volumes of dilute hydrochloric acid and separate the resultant a-methylindole by distillation with steam. The substance collects as an oil which soon solidifies. After drying crystallise it from a little petrol ether. Melting point 59°.
