Three synthetic approaches have been developed that allow efficient access to novel heteroaryl fused indole ring systems, including: 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6H-azepino[1,2-a]indoles, 4-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-[1,4]diazepino[1,7-a]indoles and 1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-[1,4]oxazepino[4,5-a]indoles. Each strategy is fully exemplified and the relative...
