✦ Synopsis
Diels-Alder reaction of 3-and 2-nitroindoles with Danishefsky's diene gives the expected 2-and 3-hydroxycarbazoles in very good to excellent yields (73-91%) and with apparent complete regioselectivity.

N-tosyl-3-nitroindole undergoes high yielding Diels-Alder reactions with 1-(N-acyl-Nalkylamino)-l,3-butadienes in a regioselective manner, to afford advanced intermediates for the synthesis of Aspidospermine alkaloids.
The synthesis and chemical reactivity in Diels-Alder reactions of the title compound 6 is described. When 6 was reacted with N-phenylmaleimide, a 3:1 mixture of isomers exo 14a and endo 14b was found, while with triazolinedione 13, a novel ferrocenyl heterocycle 15 was formed. The structures for 14b
Y-AP~PICROP~D~PI~YLLIN (II) was isolated as a secondary degradation product resulting from dehydration of the naturally occurring, tumor-necrotizing compound podophyllotoxln. 1 II was found to be identical with a compound previously synthesized by Haworth and Richardson2 by a multiple-step procedure
