(Chemical Equation Presented) C-4 or C-12 ethyl substituted 1,5-methanoazocino[4,3-b]indoles, which constitute the tetracyclic framework of uleine alkaloids as well as the ABDE substructure of the Strychnos alkaloid family, have been synthesized by novel 6-exo and 6-endo cyclizations of selenoester-derived 2-indolylacyl radicals upon 5-ethyl-1,2,3,6- and 3-ethyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines, respectively.
