Abstract
The total synthesis of (-)-isoschizogamine was accomplished, featuring the construction of the quaternary carbon center by the modified Johnson-Claisen rearrangement in basic media and the facile assembly of the key tetracyclic quinolone intermediate through a cascade cyclization. The characteristic cyclic aminal was constructed by late-stage C-H functionalization at the position adjacent to the lactam nitrogen using a combination of CrO3 and nBu4NIO4 and subsequent Bi(OTf)3-mediated cyclization.
