The synthesis of chiral 1'H-spiro[1,3-benzodioxole-2,12'-[6',10']methanocyclooct[b]indole] 3, a fused polycyclic structure derived from bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, was accomplished via the Fisher indolization reaction. Enantiomers of this structure were obtained by chiral HPLC enantiomer separation on a swollen microcrystalline triacetylcellulose column. Chiroptical properties of the resolved enantiomers
