The synthesis, in fact, utilized a Bischler-Napieralski reaction rather than a Pictet-Spengler reaction to form the p-carboline ring, but the initial starting materials for these two reactions are the same.

The authors suggest a mechanism for this transformation in which the aldehyde group of 279 is first converted to the corresponding dithioacetate, which then undergoes nucleophilic attack by the oxime nitrogen, displacing one of the thioacetate groups. Aromatization by loss of water and deacetylation of the thioacetate group then produces 280.
