This new synthetic approach can overcome the disadvantage of uncontrollable intermolecular double N-alkylation of the precursor 3 to produce the unexpected ring system 2. © 2011 The Japan Institute of Heterocyclic Chemistry.Mahidol UniversityChemistryPharmacology, Toxicology and PharmaceuticsA new synthetic approach to pentacyclic ring, 6,7,14,15-tetrahydro[1,5] diazocino[1,2-a:6,5-a']-8-dihydrodiindoleArticleSCOPUS10.3987/COM-11-12340
