Abstract
The chemical synthetic method of cytotoxic nitropyrrolins A (1), B (2), and D (4), 2-nitropyrrole terpenoids rarely occurring in nature, has been developed for further biological studies. After the synthesis of nitropyrrolin B has first been achieved, nitropyrrolin B was transformed into nitropyrrolins A and D in two steps and one step, respectively. The regio- and stereoselective epoxide-cleavage reaction was highlighted in the direct conversion of nitropyrrolin B to D.
