Abstract

An innovative acid-assisted cascade transformation of indoles with 2-nitrostyrenes was developed, allowing for the one-pot assembly of heterocyclic scaffolds with four fused rings. This strategy was subsequently employed for the concise total synthesis of two natural products, the alkaloids norneocryptolepine and neocryptolepine. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
