Abstract

A first and short total synthesis of the marine Sponge 2,3'-bis(indolyl)ethylamine (2,3'-BIEA) alkaloid (±)-gelliusine E was performed in both a three-step divergent approach and a one-pot three-component approach with an overall yield of up to 58%. A key feature of the novel strategy is PTSA-catalyzed transindolylation of the readily synthesized 3,3'-BIEAs with tryptamine derivatives. The structure of the isolated natural product is revised as protonated (±)-gelliusine E (4'). By design, this modular route allows the rapid synthesis of other members of the 2,3'-BIEA family, for example, (±)-6,6'-bis-(debromo)-gelliusine F and analogues with step economy, operational simplicity, and reduced waste. Furthermore, their cytotoxicity in breast Cancer cells was investigated.
