A new entry into the 2,3,3a,8a‐tetrahydroindeno[2,1‐ b ]pyrrole system, 1 , has been investigated. 2,3,3a,8a‐Tetrahydro‐3a,8a‐dihydroxy‐1‐methylindeno[2,1–6]pyrrole‐2,8‐dione, 3 , formed from the reaction of ninhydrin and N ‐methylacetamide has been subjected to catalytic hydrogenation, hydride reduction, and chlorination reactions to afford a variety of substituted derivatives of 1 .
