Abstract

A thirteen-step total synthesis of (±)-saframycin A from a tricyclic lactam intermediate is described. The key step of this total synthesis is the stereocontrolled construction of a pentacyclic saframycin framework via a modified Pictet-Spengler type cyclization generating a bis-carboxylic acid ester derivative, followed by decarboxylation. The cytotoxicity profiles are also presented.
