Abstract

We describe the synthesis of oxazolyl-indoles that are structurally related to pimprinaphine. The effect of the indole N-cyanoalkyl substituents on the 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) mediated oxidation was evaluated. ... Pimprinaphine (1) is a 2,5-disubstituted (3-indolyl)oxazole that was isolated from Streptoverticillium olivoreticuli (Figure [1] ). [1] [2] The related (3-indolyl)oxazole pimprinine (2) was isolated from Streptomyces pimprina, ...
