Friedel–Crafts alkylation on indolocarbazoles catalyzed by two dimethylallyltryptophan synthases from Aspergillus
摘要:
Prenylated indolocarbazoles have been reported neither from natural sources, nor by chemical synthetic approaches. In this Letter, we report a regiospecific prenylation of indolocarbazoles at the para-position of the indole N-atom by two recombinant enzymes from the dimethylallyltryptophan synthase (DMATS) superfamily, that is, 5-DMATS from Aspergillus clavatus and FgaPT2 from Aspergillus fumigatus.
