Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were also performed to elucidate the mechanistic aspects of the reaction.9enPublisher Copyright: © The Royal Society of Chemistry.Experimental and computational evidence for KOt-Bu-promoted synthesis of oxopyrazino[1,2-a]indoles2015-11-1810.1039/c5ra17056g84948672241
