The synthesis of melohenine B and a related natural product
A concise synthesis of melohenine B and O-ethyl-14-epimelohenine B, from eburnamonine, was achieved via a biomimetic diastereoselective singlet oxygen-mediated oxidative cleavage of the indole C2–C7 bond. These studies enabled the assignment of the absolute configuration of the natural products. In...
