Diels-Alder reactions between methyl 1-benzenesulfonylindole-2-acrylate and several 1-(alkoxycarbonyl)-1,2-dihydropyridines give protected methyl 7-(2-indolyl)-2-azabicyclooctene-7-carboxylates which serve as intermediates for the synthesis of analogues of the iboga alkaloids.Methods for deprotection of both the carbamate nitrogen and indole nitrogen are reported.The 7-(2-indolyl)-2-azabicyclooctene-7-carboxylates show a tendency to undergo fragmentation of the C-1,C-7 bond of the 2-azabicyclooctene ring, probably by retro-Mannich reactions.Several 6-nor-20-deethyl analogues of catharanthine have been prepared from intermediates derived from the deprotected Diels-Alder adducts.
