Abstract
Bioactive indolo[3,2-j]phenanthridine alkaloids, calothrixin B and its N-oxide derivative calothrixin A have been synthesized via an oxidative free radical reaction. calothrixin B is generated from the commercially available 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde in only 7 steps. The key step in this synthesis is the Mn(OAc)3 mediated oxidative free radical reaction of 9-(benzylamino)phenanthridine -7,10-dione with cyclohexenone to form 12-benzyl-12H-indolo[3,2-j]phenanthridine-7,13-dione.Entities:
