Total Syntheses of the Marine Pyrrole Alkaloids Polycitone A and B
Abstract

Polycitone B (2) was obtained in four steps from pyrrole dicarboxylic acid 3, including Friedel−Crafts reaction of the corresponding acid chloride with anisole. The conversion of 2 into polycitone A (1) was achieved in two steps via Mitsunobu alkylation of the pyrrolic NH group. The synthesis of polycitone A proceeds in 18% overall yield and offers the possibility of varying the substituents on the pyrrole ring.
