These syntheses of the target natural products are accomplished without a protecting group, which has a carbonyl group at the C-1 position of the carbazole. These alternative routes are accomplished by shortening the number of steps with high efficiency and also nordasycarpidol 8 synthesized for the first time in the literature. The structures of all the presently synthesized compounds were confirmed using spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR).en10.1007/s10600-023-04095-4info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessalkaloidsnordasycarpidoneuleinenordasycarpidolindole alkaloidsArticle594715720Q4WOS:001040065000003
