Abstract

The first example of a vinylogous Witkop cyclisation produces a novel azonino[c,d]indole, a carbocyclic analogue of the tumour-promoting indolactam family of natural products. A similar reaction previously reported to give azecino[c,d]indoles leads only to azocino[c,d]indoles, even when the radical centre is stabilised by the presence of halogens.
