Concise synthesis of CC-1065/duocarmycin pharmacophore using the intramolecular Heck reaction
Abstract
3-Methyleneindoline derivatives were synthesized by intramolecular Heck reaction of N-allyl-2-iodoaniline derivatives in the presence of Ag2Co3. This method was successfully applied to the synthesis of the CC-1065/duocarmycin pharmacophore.
