description

First reactions of 3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrid-4-yl)-indoles 1 with a variety of carbo- and heterodienophiles are described. These reactions provide a new access to heterocyclic functionalized indoles and pyrido[c]annellated carbazoles, compounds of interest as potential antidepressive and antitumor active agents.
