Synthesis of tetracyclic spiroindolines by an interrupted Bischler–Napieralski reaction: total synthesis of akuammicine

Abstract

Judicious substrate design allows interruption of the classical Bischler–Napieralski reaction, providing access to a range of diversely substituted tetracyclic spiroindolines. These complex polycyclic scaffolds are valuable building blocks for the construction of indole alkaloids, as showcased in a concise total synthesis of (±)-akuammicine.
