Intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of 4H-furo[3,4-b]indoles. New syntheses of benzo[a]carbazoles and benzo[c]carbazoles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908085823

Furoindoles 7 and 16 undergo smooth intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions to afford, after dehydration, hydrolysis, and oxidation, benzocarbazoles 11 and 21, respectively.
