Published: November 2005

[reaction: see text] The conversion of N-2,2-dichloropropionyl indole methyl ester into a tetracyclic cycloheptannelated indole model compound for the synthesis of dragmacidin E was accomplished in 10 steps. Key reactions include a Witkop cyclization to fashion a C-C bond at C(4) of the indole nucleus and a subsequent Dieckmann cyclization to deliver the desired cycloheptanoid ring.

An efficient and straightforward Lewis-acid-mediated stereoselective (4 + 3)-cyclization of indole-substituted alkylidene malonates and donor-acceptor cyclopropanes has been developed involving the Friedel-Crafts/Michael addition cyclization cascade. This reaction provides a mild and effective method for the construction of synthetically and structurally interesting functionalized cycloheptannelated indoles.

The conversion of a cycloheptannelated indole platform into the heptacyclic core structure of dragmacidin E proceeded over nine steps. Key sequences include a cyclocondensation to form an intermediate dihydropyrazinone ring and the conversion of a cyclic urea into the cyclic guanidine of the target.
