Hodges, Timothy R. | Benjamin, Noah M. | Martin, Stephen F.
A unique approach to gliocladin C and related alkaloids was developed that features an unprecedented nucleophilic addition of a diketopiperazine to an isatin derivative followed by a Friedel–Crafts alkylation of the resultant tertiary alcohol with indole to set the key quaternary center. Chemoselective oxindole reduction and cyclization delivered a pivotal hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole diketopiperazine intermediate that was readily converted into (±)-gliocladin C, (±)-T988C, and (±)-gliocladine C, culminating in the shortest approach to these alkaloids reported to date.
