Regioisomers of arcyriarubines were synthesized by the reaction of N-protec
ted indoles with dibromomaleimide either in the presence of a Pd(0)-catalys
t or n-BuLi. Methods for N-alkylation of these bisindolylmaleimides and dep
rotection of the indole-N are described. The structure of the bisindolylmal
eimide 11 was studied by semiempiric quantum-chemical calculations, the str
ucture of its derivative 14b was ascertained by X-ray analysis.
