Notes:
The alkylidene hydantoin 8 was synthesized as an analogue of the marine natural product oroidin (1) by employing a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. Treatment of 8 with bromine in acetic acid induced a biomimetic spiro-cyclization forming the ACD ring system of dibromophakellin (2) in one step. rac-Midpacamide (10) was obtained from the same precursor through a chemoselective, ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenation leaving the brominated pyrrole moiety intact.
