Phidianidine B (1), a natural 1,2,4-oxadiazole linking both an indole system and an aminoalkyl guanidine group that has been recently reported from a marine mollusk, has been synthesized in seven steps (14% total yield). The synthetic procedure, which is based on the coupling of 3-indolacetic acid methyl ester and the amino-alkyl hydroxy guanidine intermediate 2, opportunely prepared, is of general application and allows the synthesis of analogues with either different alkyl chain length or substitution on the indole ring.

Abstract

Phidianidine B (1), a natural 1,2,4-oxadiazole linking both an indole system and an aminoalkyl guanidine group that has been recently reported from a marine mollusk, has been synthesized in seven steps (14% total yield). The synthetic procedure, which is based on the coupling of 3-indolacetic acid methyl ester and the amino-alkyl hydroxy guanidine intermediate 2, opportunely prepared, is of general application and allows the synthesis of analogues with either different alkyl chain length or substitution on the indole ring.
