title: Synthesis of indole-based propellane derivatives via Weiss-Cook condensation, Fischer indole cyclization, and ring-closing metathesis as key steps.
abstract: A variety of highly functionalized indole-based [n.3.3]propellane derivatives is described. The synthesis of the propellane derivatives involves a Weiss-Cook condensation, a Fischer indole cyclization, and a ring-closing metathesis as key steps.
