(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of 108 tetrahydroindoles has been prepared by a one-pot synthesis from 2-alkylpyrroles, cyclic ketones, maleimides, and an acid catalyst. A 5-vinylpyrrole is formed by an acid-catalyzed condensation of a 2-alkyl-substituted pyrrole with a ketone, which is subsequently trapped in situ by a maleimide in a predominantly endo-addition Diels-Alder reaction. Isomerization of the double bond into the pyrrole ring gives a tetrahydroindole with predominant cis-fusion of the cycloalkane ring.

2-Benzylpyrroles (5a-h) can be prepared in high yield from pyrroles by reduction, with modified borohydride reagents, of the corresponding 1-azafulvenium salts (3a-h) generated in situ in the presence of excess of phosphoryl trichloride.The procedure is compatible with ester groups.
