Oxidative Construction of Unusual Indole-Derived Intermediates en Route to Conodusine A
{{output}}
We describe several approaches to the tricyclic core of conodusine A. Synthesis of a macrocyclic alkene set the stage for 1,2-olefin difunctionalization with conodusine's pendent amine. Unanticipated reactivity of an unusually labile indole mitigated the desi... ...
