title: A new short synthesis of 3-substituted 5-amino-1-(chloromethyl)-1,2-dihydro-3H-benzo[e]indoles (amino-CBIs).
abstract: A new short synthesis of 3-substituted 5-amino-1-(chloromethyl)-1,2-dihydro-3H-benzo[e]indoles from Martius Yellow is disclosed. The key steps of the synthesis were three efficient regioselective reactions (iodination, 5-exo-trig aryl radical-alkene cyclization and carboxylation).
