Unexplored reactivity of 2-oxoaldehydes towards Pictet–Spengler conditions: concise approach to β-carboline based marine natural products

Abstract

Novel reactions under Pictet–Spengler conditions between tryptophan methyl ester/tryptamine and 2-oxoaldehydes have been developed and successfully utilized for the total synthesis of Merinacarboline (A and B), Eudistomin Y1, Pityriacitrin B, Pityriacitrin, Fascaplysin and analogues.
