a reverse Friedel-Craft alkylation would be favourable I believe.

all I told - and it´s true - is that what you suggest isn´t new to the world and not to the HIVE and by now way a present or special at all.
I also think it is a not very recommended way for several reasons.
but show me I am wrong, I am awaiting your writeup in producing >100gram batches benzene this way.
until then
have a nice day
how can something that smells so good bee so bad
as someone who had so much depth can get so shallow too.
JACS volume 50 page 571 (1928) is listed as a reference in the Canadian Journal of Chemistry (Can. J. Chem.) volume 40 page 559 (1962).
Can. J. Chem. 40, 559 (1962) and Can. J. Chem. 42, 1235 (1964) both discuss decarboxylation of indole-2(and 3)-carboxylic acids using copper, copper salts, etc. in solvents, such as quinoline and N,N-dimethylacetamide.
