Abstract

0002-7863/8 1/1503-1 27 1 $01.25/0 have reported approaches to the synthesis of this polyfunctional molecule. 24 The first synthesis of its carbon framework was achieved in these laboratories in 1978, 3a and an imaginative total synthesis of streptonigrin in 0.013% yield in over 30 steps from 2-benzyloxy-3, 4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde was recently reported bv Weinreb and co-~ orkers.~ We now describe concurrent studies i; this area which have ...
