101. This alternate reaction pathway was also noted in Wender's studies.
102. 3) but were unsuccessful at providing the desired product, and retro-aldol product was observed on at least one occasion.
103. In fact, the reactivity of 47 and downstream intermediates differed significantly from that observed with the 12-epi-fischerindole U series.
104. Attempts to utilize microwave irradiation to promote this reaction led to dechlorination of the compound and were therefore not amenable for this series of chlorinated natural products.

107. Until this point, for initial studies into the synthesis of these natural products, (R)-carvone oxide was used because of its significantly lower cost.
108. The same oxidants were utilized as for 10, as well as DMDO and DMP.
109. From this point on, (S)-carvone oxide was utilized to allow access to the correct enantiomer of the natural product.
110. It was assumed that the isonitrile might react disastrously with various oxidants; therefore, the formamide was utilized in these trials.
