Abstract

Pimprinols A, B, and C are bacterial 5-(3-indolyl)oxazole alkaloids that have been isolated from Streptomyces sp. Lv3–13. In this paper, we report a new synthesis of pimprinol A and the first total synthesis of pimprinol B and pimprinol C. In addition, antipodes of the naturally occurring pimprinols A and C, as well as the racemates of these two alkaloids were also prepared. In the pivotal step, the 1,3-oxazole ring was constructed by a Nicolaou’s modified Robinson–Gabriel cyclization.

Key words

oxazole - natural products - bacterial alkaloids - pimprinols A–C - total synthesis
