Synthesis of chlorine-containing angucycline BE-23254 and its analogs
摘要:
The total synthesis of BE-23254, an unusual angucycline antibiotic is reported. This is achieved by adopting a Hauser annulation and a DDQ-promoted aromatization as the key steps. The strategy has been generalized for the synthesis of several analogs of the target molecule. A regioselective preparation of chlorine-containing phenols is also described. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Anionic [4+2] cycloaddition of furoindolones (e.g., 7 and 10) has been developed as an effective means to the synthesis of carbazoles. This reaction has been shown to be feasible with a wide variety of Michael acceptors to give carbazoles and fused carbazoles in good yields. The scope and limitations of the reaction have been briefly studied. The nature of N-protection of the furoindolones (cf. 7)
