Abstract

The total synthesis of prodigiosin (l), a red pigment first isolated from Serratia marcescens, possessing the characteristic pyrrolylpyrromethene skeleton of a class of naturally occurring polypyrroles exhibiting antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties, is detailed. The approach is based on the application of an inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrazine-3, 6-dicarboxylat. e in a 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrazine-1, 2-diazine-pyrrole strategy for ...
