    The polycyclic core of the akuammiline alkaloids can be synthesized from simple tryptamine and tryptophol derivatives via a Ag­(I)-catalyzed enantioselective dearomative cyclization cascade sequence. The complex tetracyclic scaffolds are prepared via a rapid, versatile, three-step modular synthesis from simple commercially available indole derivatives in high yields and enantiomeric excess (up to 99% yield and >99% ee).
