3 Background A family of welwitindolinones was isolated and characterized in 1994 from blue-green algae. (JACS, 1994, 116, ) They are known to display both antifungal and insecticidal activity. Blue-green algae bloom They are also known to reverse multidrug resistance in chemotherapeutic cancer treatment.

45 Comparison Wood Baran Racemic, 23 step synthesis 2.6% yield Uses semi-pinacol rearrangement to install neopentyl chloride and a quaternary center Employs a [2+2] cycloaddition and a unique α-deprotonation to form the other two stereocenters and fused cyclobutane ring Enantioselective, 13 step synthesis starting from a chiral, commercially available material 0.6% yield Installs neopentyl chloride through epoxide opening followed by chlorination. Quaternary centers are installed through a grignard reaction opening of an epoxide and a Prins reaction. Fused cyclobutane installed through a chlorination followed by a semi-pinacol type rearrangement.
