Abstract
The solid‐state photoreaction of the mixed crystals between nitrobenzaldehydes and indole was found to give nitrophenyl‐(bis‐3‐indolyl)methane (3) and nitrophenyl‐(3‐indolyl)methanol (4). The structure of the ortho isomer 4c was established by X‐ray crystallographic analysis. A dual pathway from an oxetane intermediate 5 is proposed for the formation of 3 and 4.
