Abstract:
Intermolecular oxidative N-N bond formation reactions are quite challenging and are largely uncharted. N-N linked dimeric indolosesquiterpene alkaloids represent an underexplored class of natural products, and strategies for direct dehydrogenative N-N bond formation are limited. Here, we have reported that a late-stage visible-light photoredox catalysis facilitates N-N bond formation, leading to the total syntheses of atropo-diastereomers dixiamycins A (1a) and B (1b).
