2,3,4,9-Tetrahydro-1H-β-carbolin-1-ones, 3,4,5,10-tetrahydroazepino[3,4-b]indol-1(2H)-ones, and 2,3,4,5,6,11-hexahydro-1H-azocino[3,4-b]indol-1-ones were synthesized by Vilsmeier formylation of butyrolactam, N-methylbutirolactam, N-methylvalerolactam, and N-methylcaprolactam followed by treatment with arylhydrazines. It was demonstrated that the syntheses can be carried out as one-pot procedure without separation of intermediate α-formyl lactams.
