Abstract

7-Substituted (Cl, Br, I) indoles were synthesized by using thallation of N-formylindoline as a key reaction. Two precursor tripeptides for the right-hand segment of chloropeptin were synthesized by using (R)-7'-iodo and 7'-bromotryptophans derived from each 7-substituted indole (I, Br) obtained by the above procedure.
