An efficient synthesis of olivacine. oligonucleotide synthesis.

Abstract

The key intermediate, 3 - acety1 - 1 - methy1carbazo1e (3) , has been synthesized in a Die1s -A1der reaction of 1 - methy1 - indo1o[ 3, 4 - b]pyran -3 - one (I) with 1 - cWoroviny1 methyl ketone (2), which was then converted to olivacine (7).converted into the mesylate (15). Base-induced rearrangement of (15) furnished the ketone (16) in high yield.(I) leading to a novel methodology to the synthesis of a,a' -trans-dialkyl cyclic ethers (8). Keywords: Photosensitized electron transfer (PET), episelenonium radical cation, oxyselenylation, a,a' -trans-dialkyl cyclic ethers.been subjected to some kind of chemical or biological examination; thus vast majority of natural wealth remains unexplored. Studies on marine natural products initiated only recently have yielded molecules with exotic molecular architecture and diverse bioactivity. Well-directed research on natural products will enrich our bioresource base. In the current millennium, India is in a pre-eminent position to contribute towards natural product research with the utilization of its rich knowledge base and biodiversity.
