28. Convenient conditions, however, for N-arylation of indole-2-carboxylic acid esters have been reported. See: ref. [31]. Nevertheless, this procedure was not attempted since the indolo[1,2-a]quinoxalinones 56 and 57 expected from the reduction/cyclization of N-arylindole-2-carboxylic acids or their esters could be prepared alternatively from the corresponding dihydro derivatives 37 and 43.
