                                    The Diels-Alder reactivity of in situ generated N-benzoylindole-2,3-quinodimethane has been expanded considerably to include reactions with carbon- and hetero-dienophiles which furnish a variety of [b]annellated indoles as well as functionalized and annellated carbazoles.  The frontier molecular orbital theory was found to be a useful model for the prediction of the experimental results under consideration of reactivity aspects.
