Abstract
An unexpected product of N-tosyl-7-methoxy-1,3a,4,8b-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]indole oxidation with potassium permanganate under alkaline conditions was isolated. Along with (2R,3S,3aR,8bS)-N-tosyl-7-methoxy-2,3-dihydroxy-1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydrocyclopenta[b]indole, (3SR,3aRS,8bSR)-N-tosyl-7-methoxy-3-hydroxy-1,2-epoxy-1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydrocyclopenta[b]indole was formed.
