Abstract

Through careful choice of conditions, 2-(N-indolyl) amides can be directed to undergo selectively either enolate arylation to give oxindoles or direct arylation to give indolo-fused benzodiazepines. The former chemistry facilitates the synthesis of the hexahydropyrrolindole core of psychotrimine.
