Abstract

Using an iron-mediated construction of the carbazole framework, the first synthesis of streptoverticillin is described and the absolute configuration of the natural product is confirmed. The synthesis exploits a novel oxygen-mediated aromatization of tricarbonyliron-coordinated dihydrocarbazoles. Moreover, non-natural (R)-streptoverticillin is prepared for comparison.

Key words

alkaloids - carbonyl complexes - cyclization - iron - total synthesis
