The condensation of 1 H ‐indole‐3‐ethanamides, 1 , with 2,4‐pentanediones, 2 , gave enamines 3 . Acid catalyzed ring closure of 3 gave 1‐(1‐substituted‐2,3,4,9‐tetrahydro‐ (2‐oxopropyl) ‐1 H ‐pyrido [3,4‐ b ] indoles 4 . Subsequent N ‐acetylation yielded 5 which sequentially produced 2,3‐disubstituted indoles 6 and 7 resulting from CN bond cleavage after treatment with sodium alkoxide in ethanol. Controlled catalytic hydrogenation of the latter gave saturated derivatives 8 and 9 .
