Abstract
1,2-Diaryl-4,6,7,8(5H)-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]azepines are obtained via the reduction of 1,2-diaryl-4-oxo-4,6,7,8(5H)-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]azepines with lithium aluminum hydride. In the case of a bromophenyl substituent reduction of the bromine atom occurs as well; similarly, in the case of a nitroaryl-substituted lactam, reduction of the amide carbonyl function is accompanied by reduction of the nitro group to an azo group.
