Total Synthesis of (±)-Iso-trans-trikentrin B

Abstract
The synthesis of the title compound, a member of a family of cyclopent[g]indoles isolated from a marine sponge, is described. Most of the synthetic sequence was developed starting from the more readily available cis-1,3-dimethylindan. An X-ray crystal structure of the indanol (24), the precursor of trans-1,3-dimethylindan, confirmed its relative stereochemistry.
