Abstract

Yuehchukene and the bisnoryuehchukenes have been synthesized by the dimerization of P- (dehydropreny1) indole and its demethyl derivative, respectively. Several routes of preparation of the monomers were developed. These 0-indolyl dienes were used in Diels- Alder reactions, the products of one of which served as intermediates in the synthesis of some seconoryuehchukenes.
