Take a look at this Indole chemistry article:

"A Facile Preparation of 1-(6-Hydroxyindol-1-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropan-1-one"
Chem. Pharm. Bull., Vol. 51, 98-99 (2003)      
DOI:

10.1248/cpb.51.98



Isn't even the title itself a contradiction? If there is a carbonyl carbon attached to the indole nitrogen, isn't that per definition an amide, rather than a ketone (as the nomenclature ...propan-1-one indicates)?

Also, look at the title in the top left corner of the HTML abstract page, is that a machine translation of the Japanese expression for "Detailed Table of content" perhaps?  ::)
