Abstract
The reaction of substituted aziridines with indole was studied. It is shown that the presence of electron-donor substituents attached to the carbon atom or of bulky substituents attached to the nitrogen atom in aziridines favors cleavage of the aziridine ring by indole to give derivatives of tryptamine and tryptophan.
