Abstract


The reaction of (Z)-5-bromo-3-(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene)-3H-indole with refluxing pentane-2,4-dione gave two compounds, the major product, 1-[(E)-4-(5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)-1-methyl-2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-azepin-2-ylidene]propan-2-one being accompanied by 1-(7-(2-amino-5-bromophenyl)-1,4-dimethylindolin-
5-yl)ethanone. Each product is believed to be derived from initial protonation of (Z)-5-bromo-3-(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene)-3H-indole by the diketone followed with nucleophilic diketone-C-3- addition at the C-2 of the 3H-indolium cation.
