Transition metal complexes in organic synthesis, part 43: First total synthesis of the free radical scavenger (±)-neocarazostatin B via iron- and nickel-mediated coupling reactions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(98)00527-9

The first total synthesis of the naturally occurring free radical scavenger (±)-neocarazostatin B is described by using a one-pot iron- mediated construction of the carbazole skeleton and a nickel-mediated prenylation as the key-steps.
