title: Enantioselective synthesis of the pyrroloquinoline core of the martinellines.
abstract: [equation--see text] The first enantioselective synthesis of the martinelline core (-)-3 is reported. The synthesis of (-)-3 from N-allyl-N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-2-iodoaniline (12) proceeded in seven steps and 23% overall yield. In addition, the preparation of a carbocyclic model system is described.
