title: Total synthesis of eustifolines A-D and glycomaurrol via a divergent Diels-Alder strategy.
abstract: The Diels-Alder reaction between a quinone monoimine and cyclic diene allows for the construction of substituted carbazoles in a regiospecific manner. This methodology has sucessfully been employed in a divergent strategy, culminating in the synthesis of eustifolines A-D and glycomaurrol.
