The core scaffold of paspaline-type indole-terpenes was synthesized by using the House-Meinwald rearrangement as a key step. Rearrangement of the epoxide methyl group in the precursor with methylaluminum bis(4-bromo-2,6-di- er -butylphenoxide) as a Lewis acid proceeded smoothly to construct contiguous asymmetric quaternary carbon centers by a 1,2-chirality transfer.
