Concise Total Synthesis and Stereochemical Revision of (+)-Naseseazines A and B: Regioselective Arylative Dimerization of Diketopiperazine Alkaloids

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Concise and enantioselective total syntheses of (+)-naseseazines A and B are described. Our regioselective and directed dimerization of diketopiperazines provides their critical C3-C(sp(2)) linkages, an assembly with plausible biogenetic relevance. We revise the absolute stereochemistry of (+)-naseseazines A and B.
