Enantiospecific Total Synthesis of N‐Methylwelwitindolinone D Isonitrile1. Issue 47 (2nd October 2013) - Styduhar, Evan D.
Abstract The total synthesis of N‐methylwelwitindolinone D isonitrile (1) has been achieved in 17 steps from a readily available carvone derivative. The route features a double C–H functionalization event involving a keto oxindole substrate to introduce the tetrahydrofuran ring of the natural product.
