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.
