- amidation under neat conditions and reduction with LAH, furnishing the product in 98% yield over two steps. Next, the aminal formation under neat conditions was performed. The aminal was further oxidized to a bromide salt by N-bromoacetamide in dimethoxyethane. The bromide counter anion was further
- ammonium tetrafluoroborate followed by anion metathesis in 33 and 29% yield, respectively. Due to the low yield, salt 21 was prepared through a different route. First amine 27 [30] was transformed with formaldehyde to the aminal 28. The latter could be oxidized to the corresponding bromide salt, which was

- plausible mechanism for these reactions is depicted in Scheme 3. After initial imine formation, a Brønsted acid promoted 1,5-hydride shift occurs yielding an imino-amine intermediate. Cyclization of the newly formed amine affords the desired aminal product. In 2011, Seidel and co-workers reported an indole

- is extremely logical in the sense that Kishi noticed that the aminal moiety was the most sensitive part of the molecule [15][16][17]. Therefore, he introduced it at the very end of the synthesis. To do so, the transannular cyclisation of the methoxy-ketal derivative 156 was very appealing. The

And the other hand, Boruah and Skibo have provided evidence that the loss of the C9a methoxy group to give aziridinomitosene 171 was specifically acid-catalyzed in mitomycin C (Scheme 47) [123], but thankfully the aminal functionality in compound 170 remained
