Acylcyclopropanes are employed as useful donor-acceptor cyclopropanes that undergo formal (4 + 2) cyclocondensation with N-unprotected 3-substituted indoles in the presence of a Brønsted acid catalyst. The reaction involves the simultaneous alkylation of both the N and C-2 positions of the indole and provides access to the 8,9-dihydropyrido[1,2-a]indole scaffold that is the central core of several biologically relevant indole alkaloids in excellent yields and good selectivities.Photosystem I has two active electron-
