The former chemistry facilitates the synthesis of the hexahydropyrrolindole core of psychotrimine.

J. Med. Chem. 2014; 57: 1855 16 General Procedure for the Synthesis of Indolo-Fused Benzodiazepinones 8 To a mixture of Pd(OAc)2 (0.1 equiv), Ph3P (0.1 equiv), TBAB (1 equiv), and KOAc (2 equiv) in a microwave vial was added toluene (1 mL) and the mixture stirred at r.t. for 30 min. A solution of the substrate (0.5 mmol) dissolved in toluene (1 mL) was added, the vial sealed under nitrogen, and the mixture subjected to microwave irradiation [CEM Discover, variable power mode (max 300 W), constant temperature of 120 °C] for 15 min. The reaction mixture was cooled and filtered. The filtrate was diluted with EtOAc and H2O. The layers were separated and the organic layer dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product, which was purified by chromatography. By this general procedure, compound 6a (200 mg, 0.54 mmol) gave the known product 8a (134 mg, 87% yield), whose spectral data were identical to those reported in ref. 9a. 17 General Procedure for the Synthesis of Oxindoles 14 To a mixture of Pd2(dba)3 (0.05 equiv), 1,3-bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolinium chloride (0.01 equiv), and NaOt-Bu (3.0 equiv) was added toluene (ca. 0.10 M). A solution of the substrate (1.0 equiv) in the minimum volume of toluene was added, and the mixture was stirred and heated to 80 °C for 8 h. After cooling to r.t., the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to leave a dark brown powdery residue. This was dry-loaded onto a silica gel column and purified by chromatography. By this procedure, amide 13a (0.10 g, 0.14 mmol) gave, after chromatography (eluent EtOAc–PE, 1:5), oxindole 14a (66.8 mg, 73%) as a yellow oil; Rf = 0.31 (solvent Et2O–PE, 1:1).
