β¦ Synopsis
AbstractΓA total synthesis of carbazomycin G (1) has been newly completed in seven steps. The 1,3-dioxygenated carbazole (4) via the 3-methoxy-1-methoxymethyloxycarbazole (11) as a synthetic precursor was synthesized by using the allene-mediated electrocyclic reaction of a 6p electron system generating from the 2-propargylindole derivative (10), which was derived from the 3-vinylindole (8) in three steps. Finally, the oxidation of the phenol (4) followed by the addition of methyl lithium to the carbazole-1,4-quinone (3) provided carbazomycin G (1).

A new total synthesis of the neuronal cell-protecting carbazole alkaloid carbazomadurin A is described. The key step was an allene-mediated electrocyclic reaction involving an indole [b]-bond for the construction of a highly substituted carbazole ring. The E-alkenyl side chain at the C1 position of
Considerably improved total syntheses of the carbazole antibiotics carbazomycin A and B are reported using a convergent iron-mediated one-pot construction of the carbazole framework by oxidative cyclization in the air.
