Abstract
The data on the synthesis and properties of benzo[g]indoles accumulated mainly over a period of the past 15--20 years are integrated. Various variants of pyrrole ring and naphthalene nucleus closure are considered. It is demonstrated that, in addition to the expected similarity between benzo[g]indoles and indoles, there are noticeable differences between them as well, especially where the synthesis of the benzoindole system is concerned. Practical applications of benzo[g]indoles are discussed.
The bibliography includes 199 references.
