description

The cycloadducts3,5, and7, readily available from methoxy-substituted 3-vinylindoles1 and2, were dehydrogenated withDDQ to the coplanar [a]-anellated carbazoles4,6, and8. Compound4a, also characterized by X-ray structural analysis, shows significant cytotoxicity against K562 und RXF393 human tumor cell lines.
