19. Generally, indoles are sensitive to oxygen, and consequently, the decrease in the catalytic activity may be attributed to the deactivation of PdHAP by the over-oxidized products.
20. In the case of 2,3-dimethylindoline (cis:trans=1:3), only the cis isomer was exclusively dehydrogenated to 2,3-dimethylindole, whereas the trans isomer remained intact.
