title: Stereocontrolled synthesis of an indole moiety of sespendole and stereochemical assignment of the side chain.
abstract: Two possible diastereomers of the indole moiety of sespendole were synthesized from 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde in a highly stereoselective manner. Comparison of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of the two synthetic materials with those sespendole leads us to propose that the relative stereochemistry of the epoxyalcohol is syn.
