Scalable Total Syntheses of Some Natural and Unnatural Lamellarins: Application of a One-Pot Domino Process for Regioselective Access to the Central 1,2,4-Trisubstituted Pyrrole Core
Short and scalable total syntheses of lamellarinGtrimethylether, lamellarin D trimethylether, lamellarin H, lamellarin η, dihydrolamellarin η, and lamellarin U have been realized in four to six linear steps with an overall yield of ≤22%. Highlights of the synthesis include single-step access to the central 1,2,4-trisubstituted pyrrole core in a highly regioselective manner via a one-pot [3+2]
