[摘要]:Anionic [4+2] annulation of lithiated furoindolones with dimethyl maleate followed by selective demethoxycarbonylation provides an efficient synthetic route to 3-methoxycarbonylcarbazoles. The route has led to the straightforward synthesis of two natural products, namely clausine E, mukonine, and their 4-prenyl analogues. A new route to cyclohepta[d,e,f]carbazole was also uncovered during the investigations. |
