Weinreb Amidation as the Cornerstone of an Improved Synthetic Route to A-Ring-Modified Derivatives of Luotonin A

Weinreb amidation of ethyl 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carboxylate with aromatic amines provides a significantly improved route to anilide-type key intermediates for the synthesis of the anticancer alkaloid, luotonin A, and new A-ring-modified derivatives thereof. This method has advantages conce...
