A divergent strategy to the withasomnines

Org Biomol Chem. 2009 Oct 7;7(19):4052-6. doi: 10.1039/b910632d. Epub 2009 Jul 27.

Abstract

A concise synthesis of three members of the withasomnine family of natural products is reported. The synthesis features a regioselective sydnone-alkynylboronate cycloaddition followed by Suzuki cross coupling and silyl group removal, and marks the first divergent approach to this family of pyrazole based natural products.
