Abstract

The base-promoted isomerization followed by acetic acid treatment of two 4-(pyrrolylmethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines is studied. 1-Methyl-4-(1-pyrrolylmethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (3) gave a mixture of the methanopyrrolodiazocine 1 and pyrrole, the latter arising from a fragmentation reaction. 1-Methyl-4-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolylmethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (4) afforded a mixture of recovered tetrahydropyridine and a 4-methylenepiperidine 5 instead of the cyclization product 2.
