Abstract

Abstract: Novel and efficient intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions of phenol ethers using activated hypervalent iodine species have been developed and their application to the total synthesis of strongly cytotoxic makaluvamine F (1), a member of sulfur- containing pyrroloiminoquinone marine products, is described. Key words: hypervalent iodine reagents, phenol ethers, cation radical, makaluvamine F, N, S-acetal
