Article Title: | The total synthesis of spirotryprostatin A |
Abstract: | Eight concise steps suffice for the first total synthesis of the title compound 1, which inhibits the transitions from the G2 and M phases into the next phases of the cell cycle. Key steps in the synthesis are a stereocontrolled oxidative rearrangement of an indole to form the chiral spiroindolinone nucleus and a regioselective sulfoxide elimination. |
