Starting from glutaric anhydride (5) we have demonstrated an elegant six-step practical synthesis of bioactive natural product rutaecarpine (1a) via o-amidoglutaranilic acid formation, esterification, chemoselective ester reduction, intramolecular dehydrative cyclizations, hydrazone formation and zeolite induced Fischer-indole synthesis with 53% overall yield. The conditions employed in the present synthesis are mild, efficient and general. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
