Abstract

Formal total syntheses of the antibiotics metacycloprodigiosin (2) and streptorubin B (3) are described, which are known to exhibit promising immunomodulating properties. The key step en route to their meta-bridged pyrrole core structures 5 and 7, respectively, consists of a metathesis reaction of electron-deficient enynes catalyzed by either platinum halides, hard Lewis acids, or HBF4. This transformation expands the pre-existing cycloalkene of the ...
