  • Abstract
    Two new syntheses of the phytoalexin methyl 1-methoxyindole-3-carboxylate (1) were developed that employ the same key intermediate. Methyl 2-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylate (2) was directly converted into phytoalexin 1 using modified Cadogan–Sundberg indole synthesis conditions with trimethyl phosphite. Acrylate 2 also underwent reductive cyclization with stannous chloride to give methyl 1-hydroxyindole-3-carboxylate (3), which was methylated to produce phytoalexin 1.
