A FeCl(3)-promoted highly atropodiastereoselective cascade reaction: synthetic utility of radical cations in indolostilbene construction

The FeCl(3)-promoted oxidative cyclization/coupling of acetamidostilbenes possessing 3-methoxy, 4-methoxy and 3,5-methoxy substitutions (21), (22) and (23) is described. Only 3,5-substitution gave rise to novel indolostilbenes, each possessing two stereogenic axes (axially chiral but racemic dimers...
