A concise method for the synthesis of several tetrahydroisoquinocarbazole derivatives is reported, where the core is prepared in six steps from tryptophol in 51% overall yield. The pentacyclic analogs are constructed via a dipolar C-2 alkylation of a 3-substituted indole with a 2-alkoxycyclopropanoate ester and a SmBr(2)-HMPA mediated ketyl-alkene ring closure.
