Abstract

Using (R)-propene oxide as a chiral building block a convergent enantioselective synthesis of the potent neuronal cell protecting alkaloid lavanduquinocin has been accomplished by the iron-mediated one-pot construction of the carbazole framework. Chirality 12:526–528, 2000. © 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
