An interesting rearrangement : Management of functional groups in derivatives of indoles enables a rearrangement to take place which provides the pentacyclic ring system found in phalarine (see scheme, CSA=camphorsulfonic acid, Ts=toluene‐4‐sulfonyl). Studies into the mechanism proved valuable for the total synthesis of phalarine and provided insight into the chemistry of indoles in general.
