Abstract

A. Roderick MacKenzie, Christopher J. Moody, and Charles W. Rees Department of Chemistry, Imperial College of Science and Technology, London S W7 2AY, UK ... A short synthesis of the bacterial coenzyme methoxatin, based on the thermolysis of the azide (3) to give the indole (4) and the regioselective formation of the pyrroloquinoline (5), is described. ... Methylotrophic bacteria, which can utilise methane or methanol as their sole carbon source, are of ...
