An efficient total synthesis of the annulated indole natural product (±)-<i>cis</i>-trikentrin B was accomplished by means of a regioselectively generated 6,7-indole aryne cycloaddition <i>via</i> selective metal-halogen exchange from a 5,6,7-tribromoindole. The unaffected C-5 bromine was subsequently used for a Stille cross-coupling to install the butenyl side chain and complete the synthesis. This strategy provides rapid access into the trikentrins and the related herbindoles, and represents a ...[more]
