The total synthesis of (+)-duocarmycin A and SA through a common indoline intermediate is described. The key reactions include selective lithiation of a 2,6-dibromoiodobenzene derivative and diastereoselective addition to a chiral nitroalkene, copper-mediated aryl amination, and addition of aryllithium to azlactones.
