Abstract

5-Vinyl-N-benzylindoline and 5-vinyl-N-benzylindole were synthesized starting from the corresponding 5-formyl derivative, by utilizing the Wittig or Wittig-Horner reactions. The monomers were polymerized by free-radical (AIBN) and anionic (BuLi) catalysts. Poly-5-vinyl-N-benzylindole was converted through suitable reactions to the tryptamine and indole acetic acid derivatives. Poly-5-vinyl-N-benzyl-tryptophane was synthesized by malonic ester synthesis by utilizing the condensation of poly-5-vinyl-N-benzylgramine and diethyl formamidomalonate.
