Eupolauramine (1__-), a structurally unique alkaloid having oxindole and pyridine nuclei, was synthesized from a benz [f] indole derivative easily prepared from a pyrrole derivative. The synthetic route involves one-pot cnstruction of a pyridine ring via an enediamine moiety derived from the corresponding indole-2-carboxylic acid, and transformation of the enediamine to oxindole.
