Total Synthesis of Chloptosin

Abstract

Two is better that one: A new organocatalytic route for the asymmetric preparation of the embedded piperazic acids and a Stille coupling of an ortho-chloropyrroloindole served as key steps in the total synthesis of the dimeric cyclopeptide chloptosin (see structure).
