Reaction Steps

96.5 mg of 2-ethoxy-4-oxo-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydrocoumarone and 1.5 ml of 28% aqueous ammonia were admixed in a glass tube which was sealed and heated at 100° C. for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was treated in the same manner as Example 11 to give 38.4 mg of 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole (yield 54%).
