Abstract: Preparing indoles and intermediates therefor by reacting an N-haloaniline with a .beta.-carbonylic hydrocarbon sulfide to form an azasulfonium halide, reacting the azasulfonium halide with a strong base to form a thio-ether indole derivative, and then reducing the thio-ether indole, e.g. with Raney nickel, to form the indole compound. When an acetal or ketal of the .beta.-carbonyl hydrocarbon sulfide is used, the azasulfonium salt is treated with a base, and then with an acid to form the thio-ether indole derivative. When an .alpha.-ethyl-.beta.-carbonylic hydrocarbon sulfide is used, the resulting azosulfonium salt reacts with strong base to form a thio-ether indolenine derivative, which on reduction with Raney nickel or complex metal hydrides yields 3-substituted indoles. The aniline may be an aminopyridine to form an aza-indole compound in the process. The azasulfonium salts and thio-ether indole or thio-ether indolenine derivatives can be isolated and recovered from their respective reaction mixtures.
