Abstract

Seven naturally occurring pyranocarbazole alkaloids (pyrayafoline A–E, O- methylmurrayamine A and O-methylmahanine) have been obtained by total synthesis using a palladium (II)-catalysed oxidative cyclisation of a diarylamine to an orthogonally diprotected 2, 7-dihydroxycarbazole as key step.
