DielseAlder adduct 9{1e2,1e5,1e5} (Table 3) was espe-
cially observed if the formation of 5-iminooxazolidin-2-one
7{1e2,1e5} was incomplete and the maleimides 3{1e5}
were therefore present in greater excess.

DielseAlder adducts 8{1e2,1e5,1e5} and
10{1e2,1e5,1e5} (protocol D)
The DielseAlder adducts 8{1e2,1e5,1e5} or 10{1e2,1e5
1e5} (1.00 equiv, 0.050e0.50 mmol), respectively, were dis-
solved in dry THF (10 mL) and treated with 20 wt % Pd/C
(10%). Using a Radley’s Carousel reaction station (12 Place)
a single balloon filled with hydrogen was attached and the
system was flushed five times with hydrogen. The reaction
mixtures were stirred in parallel for 4 h, after which the Pd/C
was removed through filtration over a plug of Celite, followed
by washing with dichloromethane (3ꢄ20 mL). In the case of
indole containing substrates 8{1e2,5,1e5} or 10{1e2,5,1e5}
another 20 wt % Pd/C (10%) was added after 4 h, the system
was flushed again five times with hydrogen and stirred for
an additional 20 h. All volatile components were removed
in vacuo and the residues were purified on an ISCO Optix
10 parallel chromatography station (12 g silica gel, hexane/
ethyl acetate) to afford the reduced DielseAlder adducts
11{1e2,1e5,1e5} or 12{1e2,1e5,1e5}, respectively (Tables
4 and 5).
