A method of debromination of 3-bromoindole derivatives was developed. Various ethyl 3-bromoindole-2-carboxylates were treated with H2SO4 and LiBr in acetic acid to give corresponding C3-debrominated indoles in excellent yields. The same reaction of 3-bromo-N-tosylindoles gave lower yields. The present reaction shows the possibility of indolic C3-protection by bromine atom.
