6. Desimoni and co-workers first reported the synthesis of this type of skeletons via a multicomponent reaction of indole, ethyl glyoxylate, and 3,4-dimethoxy- or 3,4-methylenedioxyanilines. The method suffers from a limited substrate scope. See: Desimoni, G.; Faita, G.; Mella, M.; Toscanini, M.; Boiocchi, M. Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2009, 2627-2634.
