Solid-state photodecarbonylation is an attractive but underutilized methodology to forge hindered C-C bonds in complex molecules. This study discloses the use of this reaction to assemble the vicinal quaternary stereocenter motif present in bis(cyclotryptamine) alkaloids. Our strategy was enabled by experimental and computational investigations of the role of substrate conformation on the success or failure of the solid-state photodecarbonylation reaction. This informed a crystal engineering strategy to optimize the key step of the total synthesis. Ultimately, this endeavor culminated in the successful synthesis of the bis(cyclotryptamine) alkaloid "psychotriadine,"which features the elusive piperidinoindoline framework. Psychotriadine, a previously unknown compound, was identified in the extracts of the flower Psychotria colorata, suggesting it is a naturally occurring metabolite.

Reaction between diethyl bromomalonate and 3-phenylpyrrolidine-2-thione yielded a vinylogous urethane by the Eschenmoser sulfide contraction. However, with 3-substituted piperidine-2-thiones, sulfur was retained in the products, and a range of bicyclic heterocycles, including bicyclic ketene S,N-acetals (2-alkylidene-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones) and stable thioisomuechnones, was isolated. A novel dimeric ketene S,N-acetal was characterised by X-ray crystallography.

Diethyl phenylmalonate (1a) and methylmalonate (1b) have been amidoethylated with the N-acyl aziridines 3a-e under various conditions.In one case only (5) we were able to isolate the primarily formed amidoethyl derivative as minor product which otherwise cyclized apparently completely to form the corresponding N-acyl pyrrolidones 6a-f which mostly underwent further (alcoholytic) reactions.
