Synthesis of the putative structure of fistulosin using the ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerization of diene.
Fistulosin 1, which was isolated from the root of the Welsh onion, is a novel indole alkaloid that has antifungal activity. The first total synthesis of the reported structure of fistulosin using our cycloisomerization of diene is described.
