Synthetic Applications of 2-(1,3-Dithian-2-yl)indoles. A New Synthetic Approach to Strychnos Alkaloids

Abstract
The first synthesis of Na-methyl-20-hydroxydasycarpidone 17b and the tetracyclic systems 16a and 16b are reported. The synthesis involves an acid cyclization of an appropriate 4-indolyl-carbonyl-2-piperidinecarbonitrile 15 which in turn is obtained regioselectively from the corresponding piperidinol 9 by a modified Polonovski reaction.
