3,3-Disubstituted ethyl)-2-[1-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-indolyl]-piperidine 4
shows a particular reactivity in front of KtBuO/BF3.Et2O: the interme
diate spiroindolenine 15 evolves to a tryptophylpiperidinium salt, whi
ch undergoes a Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement followed by a proton elim
ination to yield the 2,3-disubstituted N-tryptophylpiperidine-3-acryla
