Abstract
Aromatic aldehydes react with indole-2-carboxylic acid azides under acid catalysis conditions to give the corresponding 3-(α-halobenzyl)indoles, which react with aliphatic and aromatic amines to give the corresponding aminobenzylindoles. The latter undergo intramolecular cyclization to dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indoles at room temperature and are converted to dihydropyrimido[4,5-b]indoles through the Curtius rearrangement when they are heated to 80-110°C. Acetylation of the latter products gives N- and O-acetyl derivatives.
