The total synthesis of calothrixin B and its analogs was achieved starting from 2-methylindole. The synthesis involved an electrocyclization of 2-nitroarylvinyl-3-phenylsulfonylvinylindoles as a key step to give 2-nitroaryl-4-methoxy-3-methylcarbazoles. Oxidation of these compounds followed by reductive cyclization led to N-phenylsulfonylquinocarbazoles. These quinocarbazoles underwent hydrolysis and aerial oxidation in one pot to give the target compounds. A linear synthesis of calothrixin B and its analogs has been established from commercially available 2-methylindole. The thermal electrocyclization of 2-nitroarylvinyl-3-phenylsulfonylindole was a key step in the synthesis. The synthesis of calothrixin B and its analogs was achieved in 12-22 % overall yield over twelve steps. Copyright

Friedel-Crafts acylation of 2-methyl-1-phenylsulfonylindole 6 gave the 3-acyl derivatives 7 which upon side chain bromination with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) followed by treatment with primary amines afforded the title compounds 9.Diels-Alder reaction of 9 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) gave the polysubstituted carbazoles 12.
