Upon treatment with 30 mol % of Co2(CO)(8) and 30 mol % of TMTU in toluene at 70 degrees C, benzene-bridged alkynecarbodiimides efficiently underwent a ring-closing reaction to give the pyrrolo[2,3-b]indol-2-ones in good yields. These conditions could nearly suppress the formation of the urea derivatives, which were consistently observed when 10 mol % of Co2(CO)(8) and 60 mol % of TMTU in benzene were used. The synthesis of the eight hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole alkaloids was accomplished from the resulting pyrrolo[2,3-b]indol-2-ones via the introduction of an angular substituent at the C(3a)-position by treatment with NaBH(4)/alkyl bromide as the crucial step.
