✦ Synopsis
~ A simple three step route to 3-(indol-2-yl)--propenoate derivatives of tryptamine has been developed, involving the base-induced ring-opening of protected tetrahydro-8-carbolines that result from a modified Pictet-Spengler reaction. Several recent syntheses of indole alkaloids have utilised Z-propenoate derivatives
