Nonoxidative coupling methodology for the synthesis of the antitumor bisindole alkaloid vinblastine and a lower-half analogue: Solvent effect on the stereochemistry of the crucial C-15/C-18′ bond

, p. 10232 - 10245 (2007/10/02)
The overall strategy for the synthesis of vinblastine (1) is based upon the nonoxidative cleavage of the tertiary amine (+)-18 to generate the intermediate delocalized cation 18a, which in the presence of an electron-rich aromatic nucleophile can be trapp
Stereospecific Synthesis of the Top-Half Precursor to the Antitumor Agent Vinblastine and a Simple Bisindole Analogue.

, p. 899 - 902 (2007/10/02)
The stereospecific synthesis of a precursor to the top-half of vinblastine is described.Its non-oxidative coupling to m-methoxy-N,N-dimethylaniline provides access to the vinblastine analogue 18.
