Abstract

Abstract A three-steps approach to the lavendamycin skeleton from benzene, pyridine and quinoline blocks is described. It is based on a new synthetic methodology for the preparation of α-substituted β-carbolines which involves such reactions as Directed Ortho Metalation and Heteroring Cross-Coupling.
