Kn?lker, Hans-Joachim,Krahl, Micha P.
, p. 528 - 530 (2004)
The first total synthesis of the furo[3,2-a]carbazole alkaloid furoclausine-A is described using an iron-mediated construction of the carbazole framework and an acid-catalyzed annulation of the furan ring as key steps.
Transition metal complexes in organic synthesis, part 63;1 convergent iron-mediated syntheses of the furo[3,2-a]carbazole alkaloid furostifoline
Knolker,Frohner
, p. 2131 - 2136 (2007/10/03)
Two highly efficient routes to the furo[3,2-a]carbazole alkaloid furostifoline are described. Both syntheses use the iron-mediated arylamine cyclization as the key-step and lead to the natural product in seven and five steps, respectively.
