A common approach : Overall brevity in the synthesis of the title compounds (see scheme) is achieved by a sequential electrophilic aromatic substitution of indole and a regio‐ and diastereoselective intermolecular Diels–Alder cycloaddition to establish the key precursor—a neopentyl chloride. A stereoselective Ritter reaction and dehydration are used for the installation of the isonitrile unit.
