It is presented that hexahydro-1,5-methano[4,3-b]indoles were efficiently synthesized in high yields (up to 89% yield) through the cyclization reaction of starting tetrahydrocarbazoles bearing a monoalkylaminocarbonylmethyl moiety at the C-2 position mediated by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ). A mechanistic proposal is also given that mainly includes two cascade reactions: (i) formation of a vinylogous iminium cation via DDQ-mediated dehydrogenation of tetrahydrocarbazole functionality and (ii) intra-molecular and syn-selective addition of the amide functionality as the nucleophile to the vinylogous iminium cation. Furthermore, this cyclization reaction was successfully utilized in the formal total synthesis of (±)-uleine, an Aspidospermatan skeletal type alkaloid.
