Abstract

Full details of the previously reported total synthesis of streptonigrin (1) are presented. The successful synthetic strategy outlined in Scheme I involves use of an imino Diels-Alder cycloaddition for construction of the pyridine C ring of 1 and a modified Friedlander synthesis for annulation of the AB quinoline quinone ring system.
