Decomposition of the azidoacrylates (6) derived from 2-substituted indole-3-carbaldehydes gives pharmacologically important β-carbolines , azepinoindoles (13), or enamines (14) depending on the conditions.The formation of azepinoindoles, shown to proceed by cyclisation of the initially formed enamines, represents a new reaction of vinyl azides which is particularly favoured in the indole series.
