摘要:
The total synthesis of madindoline A was achieved. The key step of the synthesis is a reductive coupling of an acid-sensitive hydroxyfuroindoline derivative and a sterically hindered aldehyde using Sn(OTf)(2)-NaBH(OAc)(3). After the reductive coupling, the derived trione was subjected to intramolecular condensation to construct a madindoline skeleton. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
