Electrophilic carbonyl activation: competing condensative cyclizations of tryptamine derivatives

A series of tryptamine derived bisindole substrates were subjected to electrophilic activation of the func-tional grouping at their [alpha]-nitrogen in the form of iminium ions to enable cyclization onto the sterically hindered indole substructure. Our observations regarding divergent cyclization ou...
