General methods of synthesis of indole alkaloids. VIII. An attempted approach to the Iboga-Voacanga series

Abstract
Methyl 5-formylnicotinate (5) has been synthesized and condensed with a-cyanomethyltryptophol and with acetone. The products were converted into 3-methoxycarbonyl-2-piperideines and their acid-catalysed transformation into isoquinuclidines attempted.
