✦ Synopsis
þ)-Demethoxycarbonyldihydrogambirtannine was obtained in six steps and 49% overall yield from 3,4-dihydro-b-carboline using an iron-mediated [2+2+1] cycloaddition as the key-step. Oxidation of (þ)-demethoxycarbonyldihydrogambirtannine led to norketoyobyrine.

Evidence for the structure of 13 was provided by the sharp s at 12.67 ppm (phenol OH) in the 'H-NMR spectrum. The substitution pattern was confirmed by NOE difference spectra. Irradiation at the Me signal at 2.28 ppm resulted in a NOE of the aromatic proton at 6.67 ppm.
The antioxidative agent carbazoquinocin C has been synthesized by a convergent iron-mediated construction of the carbazole nucleus using a novel one-pot C-C and C-N bond formation which is carried out in the air.
