Abstract
A formal synthesis of the natural product (?)-flustramine B (3) is described, together with an easy and reliable approach for the absolute configuration assignment of a series of (3R,14S)- and (3S,14S)-oxindolylacetylphenyloxazolidinones 4, 6, 13a?c, and amides (+)- and (?)-14 by evaluation of the vibrational circular dichroism bisignated couplet resulting from the interaction of the C2 and C9 carbonyl groups. The absolute configuration assignment was validated by 1H NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction, and therefore (?)-flustramine B 3 was established as (3aS,8aR)-3.
