ChemInform Abstract: One‐Pot Dichotomous Construction of Inside‐Azayohimban and Pro‐Azayohimban Systems via an Enantioselective Organocatalytic Cascade; Their Use as a Model to Probe the (Aza‐)Indole Local Solvent Environment.

Abstract

Five contiguous stereocenters containing inside‐azayohimban (X) and pro‐azayohimban (IVa) as well as derivatives thereof are prepared and their photochemical properties are examined.
