Synthesis of Proposed Structure of Aaptoline A, a Marine Sponge-Derived 7,8-Dihydroxyquinoline, and Its Neuroprotective Properties in <i>C. elegans</i>

A concise and efficient synthesis of the proposed structure of aaptoline A, a 7,8-dihydroxyquinoline derived from a marine sponge, was accomplished in seven steps with a 52% overall yield. A key feature of the synthesis is the high-yielding Ag(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of the <i>N</i&...
