Abstract

We have developed a general one-pot method to provide highly functionalized tryptamine derivatives, via a Fischer indole type pathway. In this article, we demonstrate optimal conditions for a one-pot indole synthesis, allowing for the synthesis of a broad scope of 2- methyl tryptamine derivatives and a precursor for the synthesis of the core structure of some akuammiline alkaloids. Additionally, further modification of the indole products is ...
