Article Title: | On the rearrangement of an azaspiroindolenine to a precursor to phalarine: Mechanistic insights |
Abstract: | (Chemical Equation Presented) An interesting rearrangement: Management of functional groups in derivatives of indoles enables a rearrangement to take place which provides the pentacyclic ring system found in phalarine (see scheme, CSA = camphorsulfonic acid, Ts = toluene-4-sulfonyl). Studies into the mechanism proved valuable for the total synthesis of phalarine and provided insight into the chemistry of indoles in general. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. |
