Journal ArticleDOI

Methods for indole alkaloid synthesis. Enantiospecific synthesis of pentacyclic desethylaspidosperma-type alkaloids using an exceptionally mild retro-diels−Alder reaction

TL;DR: La pyrolyse de l'adduit (A) du chlorure de lacide vinyl-3 norbornene-5carboxylique-2 et du methoxycarbonyl-1 methyl-2 phenylthio-1' ethyliminomethyl-3 indole donne un produit retro-Diels-Alder (B), l'hexahydro methoxy carbonyl -7 phenylTHio-2' ethyl-1 pyrido [3,2-c] carbazol
Journal ArticleDOI

Short synthesis of the dynemicin core structure: unusual bridgehead enolate reactivity

TL;DR: The dynemicin core azabicyclo[7.3.1]enediyne 2 is readily synthesized in five steps from the quinolines 9 or 13; the chemistry of the core enediyne is dominated by its ready enolization as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

An unusual synthesis of ergosterol acetate peroxide

TL;DR: Trityl tetrafluoroborate and tris-(p-bromophenyl)aminium cation-radical are exceptionally effective catalysts for oxygenation of ergosteryl acetate (I, R = Ac) to the peroxide (II, R= Ac) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Applications of the β-Azidonation Reaction to Organic Synthesis. α,β-Enones, Conjugate Addition, and γ-Lactam Annulation

TL;DR: The s-azido functionalization reaction provides a mechanistically different enone synthesis that involves treatment of 2 with fluoride anion to effect desilylation and concomitant s-elimination to give 3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taxane diterpenes 5 : synthesis of the a- and c-rings : an unusual rearrangement of an n-hydroxyimino lactone

TL;DR: The ring A of taxol was synthesized from bromodiene 5 and acryloyl chloride to give 6, which was resolved by separation of diastereomers 7.
