The versatility of brominated camphor derivatives as six-membered-ring chiral building blocks in the synthesis of compounds of mixed biogenesis has been demonstrated in an eight-step synthesis of (+)-hapalindole Q from (+)-(lR)-9-bromocamphor in an overall 8% yield which confirms the absolute stereochemistry to be 10R, 1 lR, 12R, 15R.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
