Chemistry Publications
The total synthesis of (±)-quebrachamine has been completed in 13 linear steps and 17.8 % overall yield. The indole core was constructed via a formal [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition between a functionalized nitrile and donor-acceptor cyclopropane, and the synthetically challenging nine-membered ring was secured by an efficient chloroacetamide photocyclization.
