Transition metal complexes in organic synthesis, part 63;1 convergent iron-mediated syntheses of the furo[3,2-a]carbazole alkaloid furostifoline

, p. 2131 - 2136 (2000)
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.

The first total synthesis of the furo[3,2-a]carbazole alkaloid furostifoline was achieved using a convergent iron-mediated construction of the carbazole nucleus.
