Abstract
Abstract Using an iron-mediated construction of the carbazole framework, the first synthesis of streptoverticillin is described and the absolute configuration of the natural product is confirmed. The synthesis exploits a novel oxygen-mediated aromatization of tricarbonyliron- coordinated dihydrocarbazoles. Moreover, non-natural (R)-streptoverticillin is prepared for comparison.
