Abstract

This invention relates to novel tetrahydroazepinoindoles used in the preparation of novel alkyl pyrrolo(2,3-d)carbazole-6-carboxylates and to addition salts thereof; and to preparation of the same by a synthesis sequence starting from a tryptamine and a 3-halopyruvate and involving a rearrangement of the reaction mixture, said rearrangement being effected by heating the reaction mixture in the presence of a base. The pyrrolo(2,3-d)carbazole final products have both antianoxic and psychotropic activities.
