Beiträge zur Chemie der Pyrrolo[3,2-c]azepine und der Pyrrolo [3,2-b]azepine

Some chemical transformations in the series of the pyrrolo [3,2-b]azepines and the pyrrolo[3,2-c]azepines are reported: alkylation at the pyrrolo nitrogen and/or the azepino nitrogen, reduction of the lactam group by means of LiAlH₄, preparation of lactim ethers and amidines, substitution in position 2 by MANNICH reaction, bromination and condensation with oxalyl chloride or chloral hydrate, and the cyclocondensation with dimethylmalonyl chloride. The structures of the 2-substitution products have been evaluated by NMR.-spectroscopy.
