                                    Vinylpyrrolo-[2,1-a]-beta-carbolines 1 give different products upon reaction with dienophiles. With dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), a novel domino process takes place, involving Michael attack and rearrangement, affording complex polycycles like 3, 4, and S. Diels-Alder cycloadditions are favored in the presence of Lewis acids and are the only reactions with dimethyl maleate. When 3-butyn-2-one is used as dienophile, a Stevens rearrangement is observed giving product 9. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
