Synthesis of murrayaquinone A and analogues via ring-closing C–H arylation
摘要:
A compact synthesis of Murrayaquinone A is reported, based on sequential Buchwald-Hartwig amination/annulative C-H activation followed by oxidation of the intermediate carbazole. The methodology can be readily extended to other analogues with electron-rich quinone rings. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
convenient synthesis of carbazole-1,4-quinone alkaloid koeniginequinones A and B using a tandem ring-closing metathesis with the dehydrogenation reaction sequence under an O2 atmosphere as an important step. Using this method, carbazole-1,4-quinones substituted at the 5-, 6-, 7-, and/or 8-positions have been synthesized. Moreover, 24 compounds, including koeniginequinones A and B, have been evaluated for
