Abstract: Reaction of 2-Furanylacylmethyltriphenylarsonium bromide (1) with excess substituted anilines and 1 (or 2)-naphthylamine in N,N-dimethylaniline gave correpon-ding 2-(α-Furanyl)-indoles(2a-d) and 2-(α-Furanyl) benzidole derivatives (3 snd 4). α-Furanylacylmethyltriphenylarsine reacted with substituted benzaldehyds to form corresponding olefin derivatives in high yield. The structures of the products were determined by elemental analysis, colour test, IRand ¹H NMR.
