21. Under these conditions only minimal quantities of side products were observed.
22. These conditions remain unoptimized, and current efforts are focusing on both improving efficiency and utilizing chiral metal catalysts to induce asymmetry.

34. Initial attempts to employ Phenylhydrazine hydrochloride in the Fischer indolization reaction of substrate 15 led to mixtures of products, which arose from non-deprotected and deprotection of the silyl ether.
35. Attempts to condense Phenylhydrazine with ketone 15 under either neutral or protic acid conditions provided only low conversions to the desired hydrazone 19.

38. 1H NMR analysis of the unpurified reaction mixture. Isolation yields of 19 typically ranged between 84%-97% yield,
39. The configuration of hydrazone 19 (i.e., E-hydrazone vs. Zhydrazone) could not be determined by NMR.
