A divergent strategy to the withasomnines

Robert S. Foster, Jianhui Huang, Jérôme F. Vivat, Duncan L. Browne and Joseph P. A. Harrity


A concise synthesis of three members of the withasomnine family of natural products is reported. The synthesis features a regioselective sydnone–alkynylboronate cycloaddition followed by Suzuki cross coupling and silyl group removal, and marks the first divergent approach to this family of pyrazole based natural products.
