Abstract

Photocyclization of tricyclic chloroacetamide (3) occurs on the indole 4-position to give the ten-membered lactam (4), whose structure was confirmed by conversion to the tetracyclic amine (6). Some conformational aspects of lactam (4) and thiolactam (5), namely the observation of conformers by nmr as a consequence of a restricted inversion of the ten-membered ring, are discussed.
