Synthesis of Cycloalk[ b ]indole Bearing Spiropiperidine Derivatives

The novel heterocyclic compounds that have cycloalk[ b ]indole moiety bearing spiropiperidinone and spiropiperidinedione ( 3a , 3b , 3c , 5a , 5b , 8a , 8b , and 10a ) were synthesized for the first time. The synthesis of spiropiperidinone and spiropiperidinedione structures was performed by a new method. These compounds are similar to sedative and hypnotic drugs such as methyprylon, glutethimide, and thalidomide.
