Summary

A novel synthesis of calothrixin B was achieved using a highly regioselective intramolecular homolytic acylation of a quinoline ring. This key step provides an efficient route to the pentacyclic alkaloid.

  • The synthesis features a key intramolecular homolytic acylation of a quinoline derivative.
  • This reaction proceeds with high yield and complete regioselectivity.

Main Results:

  • A new synthetic pathway to the pentacyclic alkaloid calothrixin B was established.
  • The key acylation step was demonstrated to be high-yielding and totally regioselective.

Conclusions:

  • The developed synthetic strategy offers an effective method for accessing calothrixin B.
  • The intramolecular homolytic acylation is a powerful tool for constructing complex polycyclic systems.
