Question

Write the detailed mechanisms for the following transformations.

### Reaction 3:

- **Starting Material**: An indole derivative with a carbonyl group attached to a benzene ring.
- **Reagents and Conditions**:
  - Concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) in dioxane as a solvent.
  - Reaction is conducted under reflux for 4 hours.
- **Product**: A bicyclic compound featuring a fused five-membered ring with an indole structure.
- **Yield**: 55%

### Reaction 4:

- **Starting Material**: A methoxy-substituted aromatic compound with hydroxyl and silyl-protected groups.
- **Reagents and Conditions**:
  - Boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF₃·OEt₂), used in 2 equivalents.
  - Reaction conducted in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature for 1 hour.
- **Product**: An aromatic aldehyde derived from the starting compound with specific methoxy substitutions and one aldehyde group.
- **Yield**: 68%
- **Note**: R = TBDMS (tert-butyldimethylsilyl protecting group)

These reactions illustrate transformations involving indole derivatives and methoxy-substituted aromatics, often found in organic synthesis studies.
