The canthines represent a fairly large subclass of β-carboline alkaloids, with the first
members described 75 years ago. Over the last 60 years, many members of the parent …

Indium trichloride and indium triflate were found to be effective catalysts for the acetylation of
indoles to 3-acetyl indoles and is reported for the first time in good yield. Indium triflate is …

In this review, more than 60 natural canthin-6-one alkaloids and their structures are
considered. The biosynthesis, efficient and classic synthetic approaches, and biological …

Data on methods for the production of isatin and indole aldoximes, ketoximes, and
amidoximes and their reactions are reviewed. Individual syntheses of new heterocycles from …

A series of indole-derived alkenes have been designed and applied in a photocatalytic
cascade reaction with bromodifluoroacetate esters, affording an unknown type of tetracyclic …

A variety of 3-substituted β-and γ-carbolines have been synthesized from N-substituted 3-
iodoindole-2-carboxaldehydes and 2-bromoindole-3-carboxaldehydes, respectively. The …

A variety of substituted β-and γ-carbolines have been prepared in good to excellent yields
by the annulation of internal acetylenes by the tert-butylimines of N-substituted 3-iodoindole …

Highly functionalized hitherto unreported pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidines have been concisely
synthesized in good yields via l-proline catalyzed one-pot three-component domino …

A total synthesis of the rubrolone aglycon is detailed and is based on two key Diels− Alder
reactions. The AB ring system incorporating a tetrasubstituted pyridine was assembled …

An efficient protocol for the direct transformation of chroman-4-ones to tricyclic fused
pyridines with the skeleton of cassiarins, a family of alkaloids with antimalarial activity, was …
