title: Vilsmeier formylation of 2-carboxyindoles and preparation of O-benzylhydroxyureas on solid phase.
abstract: The Vilsmeier formylation has been introduced for the solid-phase functionalization of five different 2-carboxyindoles. The aldehyde functionality has been utilized in the preparation of O-benzylhydroxyureas.
