β¦ Synopsis
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.

Tangutorine (1) in the racemic form has been assembled from tryptamine and aldehyde 3. The synthetic design was based on uncovering a hidden symmetry in the nontryptamine portion of the norketone 2. A five-step process with an overall yield of 7% was developed in which 2 was transformed into the tar
