Abstract

aza Wittig reaction alkaloids protecting groups Chemical Synthesis Organic Chemistry Photochemistry
The Eguchi aza Wittig protocol has been used for the synthesis of sclerotigenin and circumdatin F by selective acylation of the more acidic anilide nitrogen of a benzodiazepinedione without the need for protecting groups. The use of the 2-nitrobenzyl group as a photochemically labile protecting group for the amide nitrogen of a diketopiperazine permits the use of the aza Wittig procedure for the synthesis of fumiquinazoline G.
