摘要

The reaction of indoloazepines 1 and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in reflux toluene led to tetracyclic compounds 2. The key to this reaction was an intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition by the indoloacrylate (dienophile)-dienamine (diene) intermediates generated in situ. © 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
