A Building Block Approach for the Total Synthesis of YM‐385781

Abstract

YM‐254890 and FR900359 are potent and selective inhibitors of the Gq/11‐signaling pathway. As such, they have been attractive targets for both synthesis and biological studies. Yet in spite of this effort, a versatile synthetic approach to the molecules that allows for the rapid construction of a variety of non‐natural and labelled analogs and an increase in the amount of those analogs available remains elusive. We report here a convergent building block approach to the molecules that can solve this challenge.
