ToxicTed Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 What type of reaction occurs when the keto isomer of indoxyl reacts with O2 to form Indigo? Addition, Substitution, Oxidation, or Reduction? Aren't the hydrogens being removed from indoxyl, forming H2O and making this an Oxidation reaction?

Looks to me (having googled it) that indeed one loses 4 H atoms, for each pair of indoxyl units, to make one indigo molecule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
