Abstract

... The Journal of Organic ... As was pointed out in a previous report by Friedrichsen,(27) furo[3,4-b]indoles are much less chemically reactive than the ... By using quantum chemical methods, the data obtained showed that the [4 + 2]-cycloaddition of 4H-furo[3,4-b]indole with ethylene ...
