Quantum mechanical density functional theory computations comparing the energetics of tetracyclic hapalindole formation and tetracyclic fischerindole formation starting from the cationic intermediates derived from 2, 17, and 18. Tetracyclic fischerindole formation (left side) is only influenced by inductive effects, while tetracyclic hapalindole formation (right side) is also influenced by resonance effects.
