Abstract
We describe the first successful synthesis of the indole alkaloid isolated from the marine sponge Halichondria melanodocia, using the previously unreported nickel catalyzed cross electrophile coupling of an α-bromoketone to a sp2 iodide to provide a convergent synthesis of the carbon framework without concomitant olefin migration. The indole alkaloid was thus synthesized in two steps from known compounds.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
