Abstract
By expanding the ring of 1-methyl-4-piperidone with diazomethane we have obtained 1-methyl-1-azacyclopentan-4-one. The Fischer cyclization of arylhydrazones of 1-methyl-1-azacyclopentan-4-one has given 3-methyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole and a number of its derivatives for the first time. The structure of the compounds obtained was shown by a study of their PMR spectra and also by a number of chemical reactions.
