All articles of this category 2-Vinylindoles, which are easily accessible via a domino process, are useful synthons for a variety of applications. Subsequent Diels-Alder reactions yield tetrahydrocarbazoles which can be dehydrated to carbazoles such as derivatives of olivacine or elipticine. Cycloadditions with enamine intermediates led to the synthesis of epidasycarpidone. 2-vinylindoles - Diels-Alder reaction - tetrahydrocarbazoles - ellipticine - dasycarpidone
