The Chemistry of Indoles. XLIV. : Synthetic Study Directed toward 3, 4, 5, 6-Tetrahydro-1H-azepino[5, 4, 3-cd]indoles

Abstract

A simple synthetic metho which can provide 3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-1H-azepinol[5, 4, 3-cd]indole derivatives having a carbon side chain at any desired position of the nucleus was developed. The method was applied to the preparation of 4- and 5-alkyl-3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-1H-azepino[5, 4, 3-cd]indoles.
