title: Total syntheses of the benzodiazepine alkaloids circumdatin F and circumdatin C.
abstract: Total syntheses of circumdatin F and circumdatin C, which both possess a 3H-quinazolin-4-one as well as a 1,4-benzodiazepin-5-one moiety, are described. A tripeptide derivative was synthesized as a key intermediate and dehydrated to a benzoxazine by reaction with triphenylphosphine, iodine, and a tertiary amine. The natural products were attained via rearrangements to an amidine intermediate, deprotection with 45% HBr in acetic acid, and cyclization on silica gel.
