Ir-Catalyzed Reverse Prenylation of 3-Substituted Indoles: Total Synthesis of (+)-Aszonalenin and (−)-Brevicompanine B
2014
Ruchti, Jonathan | Carreira, Erick M.
The selective reverse prenylation of 3-substituted-1H-indoles at C3 is described. The iridium-catalyzed reaction proceeds with high branched to linear selectivity (>20:1) for a variety of indoles. In addition, a diastereoselective reverse prenylation of tryptophan methyl ester is disclosed, and its synthetic utility is demonstrated in the synthesis of (+)-aszonalenin and (−)-brevicompanine B.
