Action of excess n-butyllithium on indole followed by carbonation with solid carbon dioxide gave only N-indolecarboxylic acid in 61% yield. There was no evidence of C-metalation under a variety of experimental conditions. N-Methylindole was metalated in the 2-position in 78% yield. N-Phenylindole with excess butyllithium showed evidence of dimetalation through the isolation of a dicarboxylic acid, probably l-(2'-carboxyphenyl)-2-indoIecarboxylic acid, and a cyclic ketone probably derived from the same dilithio compound. Both of the products represented a yield of dimetalation of about 55%. Reaction products of some of the lithioindole derivatives with a variety of reagents are reported.The metalation of indole and certain of its derivatives with «-butyllithium was undertaken to provide information concerning the position of attack by this organometalliccompound. As has been shown in the past, principally by Gilman and co-workers, introduction of a lithium atom into hetero-
