Divergent and Selective Functionalization of 2-Formylpyrrole and its Application in the Total Synthesis of the Aglycone Alkaloid Pyrrolemarumine
Keyword(s):
Diverse 1,2- and 1,2,5-substituted pyrroles were efficiently prepared through a regioselective functionalization of 2-formylpyr-role (<strong>5a</strong>). This methodology was applied for the first total synthesis of pyrrolemarumine (<strong>4b</strong>), the aglycone of the corresponding natural pyr-role alkaloid 4”-O-a-L-rhamnopyranoside. The synthesis of <strong>4b</strong> was achieved starting from 5a through a seven-step process in 28% over-all yield.
