TL;DR
The hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indoline skeleton is readily accessed by the zinc triflate-mediated alkylation of tryptamine derivatives and was employed in a three-step total synthesis of debromoflustramine B.
Abstract
[reaction: see text] The hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indoline skeleton is readily accessed by the zinc triflate-mediated alkylation of tryptamine derivatives. The methodology was employed in a three-step total synthesis of debromoflustramine B.
