Abstract
This chapter describes mitomycin syntheses published in the period 1984–1988 plus 1989 literature available by August 1. Mitomycin synthesis was intensively investigated in this period. It is characterized by a considerable variety of strategies and novel chemistry. The most significant accomplishment was an efficient new total synthesis of mitomycin С by way of isomitomycin A. Other achievements include syntheses of decarbamoyl 7-methoxymitosane by electrophile-initiated biscyclization and by a copper-catalyzed double cyclization of an azidoquinone. New methods for 9,9a-dihydromitosenes were based on photocyclization of a diene-bearing azidoquinone and on intramolecular Reformatsky or Wittig reactions. A stereoselective synthesis of a 1,2-aziridinomito- sene involved photochemical oxidation-reduction followed by palladium-catalyzed cyclization. Mitosenes were prepared by a variety of strategies including triazole photolysis, “criss-cross” annulation of a 2-[2-(l,3-dioxocyclopentanyl)]aniline, Madelung synthesis, and Dieckmann cyclization of a substituted pyrrolazene. Other approaches were based on thermal isomerization of a 1-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-vinylbenzene, palladium-catalyzed cyclization of a 6-allyl-5-allylamino-1,4- benzoquinone, and intramolecular cycloaddition of a nitrile oxide to a vinyl group. A 1,2- cyclopropano derivative was formed by 1,3-dipolar addition of a diazo group to an alkene, followed by elimination of nitrogen.
