Synthesis of 4-deoxycarbazomycin B: A convenient alternative

4-Deoxycarbazomycin B(3) was synthesized by condensation of 4-methoxy-2,3-dimethylacetanilide (8) with bromobenzene in presence of cuprous iodide and potassium carbonate, and subsequent hydrolysis with 20% aqueous ethanolic KOH, followed by cyclisation of the resulting substituted diphenylamine (9) with palladium acetate in acetic acid.

A new synthesis of 4-deoxycarbazomycin B and its antimicrobial properties

A new synthesis 4-deoxycarbazomycin B (3) has ben achieved using Japp-Klingemann reaction for the preparation of the required hydrazone 12 starting from the amine hydrochloride 9 and 2-hydroxymethylenecyclohexanone 11. The hydrazone 12 on indolisation with cone. HCl and AcOH furnishes the keto-tetrahydrocarbazole 13 which on Wolff-Kishner reduction followed by dehydrogenation with Pd/C affords 3. A new method for the synthesis of the starting amine hydrochloride 9 has been developed. Compound 3 shows significant inhibitory activity against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
