Transition metal complexes in organic synthesis, part 59.1 First enantioselective total synthesis of lavanduquinocin, a potent neuronal cell protecting substance from Streptomyces viridochromogenes
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.
