Synthetic method for producing indolylquinone and mono- and bis-indolylquinones produced therefrom

摘要

The present invention relates to novel synthetic methods for the preparation of indolylquinones. The methods of the present invention are directed to synthetic reactions involving indoles and halo-quinones in solvent and in the presence of a metal carbonate. The invention also relates to bis- and mono-indolylquinones of high purity and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same.
