, p. 2482 - 2488 (1993)
The mode of C-ring formation in ergot alkaloid biosynthesis was probed by synthesizing two potential intermediates, compounds 6 and 7, in deuterated form from the prenylated indole 8. Both compounds were incorporated into the ergot alkaloid elymoclavine b
Formal Synthesis of Clavicipitic Acid Based on a Biosynthetic Proposal
Boyles, David A.,Nichols, David E.
, p. 5128 - 5130 (1988)
The clavicipitic precursor 10 was synthesized by an efficient route culminating in an intramolecular, acid-catalyzed aminoalkylation between an amine and an alcohol to form the azepino ring system characteristic of this indolic amino acid.A ring closure u
