title: Facile synthesis of the indeno-tetrahydropyridine core of haouamine A.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The tricyclic indeno-tetrahydropyridine core of haouamine A, containing five of the seven rings of the natural product, was constructed by a simple, concise route that features an acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts ring closure.
