56. Li, J. Ph.D. Thesis, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 1999. Ozonolysis of the olefinic bond in 23a was attempted many times and was unsuccessful due to the activity of the indole 2,3-double bond toward ozone. The olefinic bond could be selectively osmylated in the presence of the indole moiety; however if this was attempted without protection of the C(16) aldehyde, a hemiacetal resulted which prevented periodate cleavage.
