Abstract
With the action of phase transfer catalyst(PTC),2-methylindole was N-alky-lated.The effects of different PTC,reacting time,temperature,the concentration of potassium hydroxide and the bromoethane amout on the reaction were studied.The selection of N,C-alkylation was explained theoretically. The relationship of concentration and structures of the catalyst to the reacting rate have been studied quantitatively.
