Abstract
Bicyclo[n.4.0]alkan-3-ones (n = 3, 4, 5) with a trans bridge-head configuration give linear annulated tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives in Fischer indole synthesis. The structure of two tetrahydrocarbazoles was confirmed by X-ray crystal analysis. The hexahydroindanone derivative with a cis bridge-head configuration gives, contrastingly, the angular annulation product under the same reaction conditions.
Key words
carbazole derivatives - indole derivatives - heterocycles - regioselectivity - annulation

Ethyl 6,6a,7,8,9,10-Hexahydro-5 H -cyclopenta[ b ]carb-azole-9a-carboxylate ( 2a); Typical Procedure A mixture of ketone 1a (191 mg, 0.908 mmol), glacial AcOH (2.3 mL), TFA (0.80 mL), and PhNHNH2 (260 mg, 2.40 mmol) was stirred for 16 h at 100 °C in a tightly closed reaction vial. The mixture was added to ice-H2O (ca. 20 g) and the resulting emulsion was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was chromatographed twice (SiO2; hexanes-EtOAc, 5:1, R f 0.36) to furnish carbazole derivative 2a (210 mg, 0.881 mmol, 97%) as light yellow crystals, mp 175-177 °C. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 1.07 (t, J = 7.1 Hz, 3 H), 1.68-1.74 (m, 1 H), 1.83-1.90 (m, 2 H), 1.93-2.00 (m, 2 H), 2.17-2.23 (m, 2 H), 2.51 (dt, J = 15.1, 2.0 Hz, 1 H), 2.85 (ddd, J = 15.7, 5.7, 1.2 Hz, 1 H), 3.09 (br t, J = 13.7 Hz, 1 H), 3.59 (d, J = 15.0 Hz, 1 H), 3.88-3.93 (m, 1 H), 3.95-4.03 (m, 1 H), 7.06 (td, J = 7.4, 1.1 Hz, 1 H), 7.10 (td, J = 7.4, 1.2 Hz, 1 H), 7.25 (dd, J = 6.0, 1.1 Hz, 1 H), 7.46 (br d, J = 7.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.70 (br s, 1 H, NH). 13C{1H} NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 175.59 (C), 136.40 (C), 134.88 (C), 127.50 (C), 120.95 (CH), 118.99 (CH), 117.72 (CH), 110.37 (CH), 110.02 (C), 59.84 (CH2), 53.72 (C), 46.11 (CH), 36.73 (CH2), 31.90 (CH2), 28.01 (CH2), 26.06 (CH2), 22.59 (CH2), 14.02 (CH3).
