Abstract

Nonoxidative photocyclization of indole-2-carboxanilides (1a and 1b) yielded mainly the 6a-11b cis isomers of indolo[2,3-c]quinolin-6-one 5. By contrast, from the N-methyl homologs (1c and 1d) only the trans isomers 4 were obtained. The mechanism was explained in terms of the dual pathways involving a sigmatropic 1,5-hydrogen shift and a competing “solvent-mediated” course.
