Background • Marinopyrrole B was isolated from Streptomyces speciesfromamarinesedimentin 2008 by William Fenical. • The marinopyrrole B possesses potent antibiotic activities against methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA),as well as cytotoxicity against a colon cancer cell line.
conclusion 1. Their route to marinopyrrole B deals with introduction of bromine at a very early stage and relies on the special reactivity ofallylic acetate11towards nucleophiles. 2. This reactivity is harnessed as a new method to construct a carbon chain appropriately functionalized for the key Paal–Knorr reaction that generates the second pyrrole ring.
