A new route to the indolo [2, 3-o] quinolizidin-2-one ring system is reported. It is based on the elaboration of the C ring in the key step by cyclization upon the indole 3-position of an N-substituted 2-(2-mdolyl)-4-piperidone derivative. This cyclization was efficiently accomplished by treatment of the sulfonylated indole alcohol 6 with potassium ferf-butoxide.The indolo [2, 3-o] quinolizidine ring system has received great attention from a synthetic standpoint because it is present in a large number of indole alkaloids. 2 In par-ticular, the indolo [2, 3-a] quinolizidin-2-ones, 3 including the 3-ethyl derivative l, 4 are known intermediates in the synthesis of indole alkaloids. Previous approaches to the indolo [2, 3-o] quinolizidin-2-one ring system involveeither closure of ring C by formation of the C12a-C12b bond5 or construction of ring D6 in the key steps of the synthesis. In the context of our studies about the use of 2-aryl-4-piperidones as synthetic intermediates, 7 we report here a new synthetic entry to the indolo [2, 3-a] quinolizidin-2-one system based on the elaboration of ring C in the crucial synthetic step by cyclization upon the indole 3-position using an appropriately substituted 2-(2-indolyl)-4-piperidone derivative. 8 By a similar strategy, we recently reported70 a new synthesis of benzo [o] quinolizidin-2-ones which constitutes a formal synthesis of the alkaloid eme-tine.
