Abstract

A new route for the regioselective synthesis of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole derivatives was developed based on cyclization of 3-chlorophenylimine-N-alkyl-4-piperidones by “the complex bases” of NaNH2 or KNH2. The procedure was performed under variable reaction conditions in inert proton-free solvents, such as THF, dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, toluene, and xylene, at temperatures varying from 20°C to boiling point of the solvent used. Toxic arylhydrazine intermediates occurring in the classical Fischer indole synthesis are avoided.
