A general approach to the total synthesis of yuehchukene and its analogues. A novel anti-implantation agent

A versatile synthetic strategy has been developed for the synthesis of the interesting dimeric indole natural product yuehchukene (17) and its epimer, 6a-epi-yuehchukene (22). Due to the anti-implantation activity associated with 17, it is important to develop a synthetic route not only to 17, but to a family of yuehchukene analogues with better chemical stability and/or elevated biological activity. The strategy described here and which utilizes the readily available and inexpensive isophorone (1) satisfies these requirements.
