Total syntheses of Tardioxopiperazine A, Isoechinulin A, and Variecolorin C
Chemical equations presented. First total syntheses of the isoechinulin-type alkaloids: Tardioxopiperazine A, Isoechinulin A, and Variecolorin C have been achieved from a common key intermediate 5, which was derived from a regiocontrolled Stille cross-coupling reaction of an allylindium reagent.
