6. Azaindoline is used here to describe the pyrrolopyridine system; thus, 4-azaindoline is 2, 3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3, 2-b]pyridine, 5-azaindoline is 2, 3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3, 2-c]pyridine, 6-azaindoline is 2, 3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo- [2, 3-c]pyridine, and 7-azaindoline is 2, 3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2, 3-b]pyridine.

38. It is likely that the proton transfer is an intermolecular process catalyzed by a small quanity of 1-allyl-3-methyl-7-azaindoline peresent in the reaction mixture as a consequence of inadvertent quench of 9, by solvent or adventitious acid. Thus: 9, + 1-allyl-3-methyl-7-azaindoline → 1-allyl-3-methyl-7-azaindoline + 10.
