(Chemical Equation Presented) Acyl oximes derived from a variety of indolylalkanones underwent a ring closure sequence during FVP to afford 9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indoles. Unlike UV light promoted reactions of oxime esters, the mechanism is almost certainly not mediated by iminyl radicals but probably involves tautomerism, elimination of acetic acid, and a final electrocyclic ring closure.
