Enantiospecific Total Syntheses of (+)‐Hapalindole H and (−)‐12‐epi‐Hapalindole U
TL;DR: Key steps of the approach feature expedient, highly regio- and diastereoselective Lewis acid catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction of indole with cyclic allylic alcohols and intramolecular reductive Heck reaction.

TL;DR: In this article, steady state absorption, fluorescence and femtosecond transient absorption techniques were employed to investigate the excited state relaxation mechanism of trans-ethyl-3-(1H-indole-3-yl)acrylate (trans-EIA), and the measured large value of difference in the static dipole moment from ground state to excited state reflects the involvement of excited state intramolecular charge transfer in EIA.
