Abstract

(matrix presented) epi-7-Deoxypancratistatin containing the cis-fused phenanthridone core was synthesized in 12 steps from bromobenzene. Key features of this synthesis include the enzymatic oxidation of bromobenzene with toluene dioxygenase, selective opening of a cyclic sulfate over an aziridine with oxygen nucleophiles, and an intramolecular Lewis acid-catalyzed cyclization onto an epoxy conduramine derived via aza-Payne rearrangement.
