title: Copper catalyzed sequential arylation-oxidative dimerization of o-haloanilides: synthesis of dimeric HPI alkaloids.
abstract: In this communication, we report a copper catalyzed sequential arylation-oxidative dimerization reaction as the key step for the synthesis of hexahydropyrroloindole alkaloids (+)-chimonanthine, (+)-folicanthine and (-)-calycanthine.
