Intermolecular 1,5-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of tungsten-containing vinylazomethine ylide, generated from o-(alk-3-en-1-ynyl)phenylbenzaldimines and tungsten carbonyl complex, with ketene acetals proceeds efficiently to give azepino[1,2-a]indole derivatives in good yield. Formation of [5+2] or [3+2] cycloadducts can be controlled by an appropriate choice of dipolarophile.
