The ring system of the novel indole alkaloid tangutorine (1) has been synthesized via the Fry reaction. The final key steps were an oxidation/reduction procedure or alternatively, an epimerization sequence. Conformational and stereochemical aspects of the skeleton are discussed.

SCLAREOL (I), the synthesis of which has been described elsewhere,1 has been used as a starting material for the synthesis of hydrocarbons of the oleanane series.
