title: 3-Indolylacyl radical cyclizations upon pyridines and tetrahydropyridines: access to ergoline-related indole [cd]-fused isoquinolines.
abstract: Cyclizations of selenoester-derived 3-indolylacyl radicals, involving the homolytic acylation of pyridines or the addition to double bonds included in tetrahydropyridine rings, have been used to synthesize indole [cd]-fused isoquinolines related to the natural ergoline system.
