, p. 863 - 882 (2007/10/02)
A new synthesis of 2,3,4-tribromo-5-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)pyrrole (1a, pentabromopseudiline), an antibiotic, enzymeinhibitory and cytotoxic active constituent of the marine bacterium Alteromonas luteo-violaceus, is described.For investigation of structure-activity relationships further 2-phenylpyrroles are investigated.Key step in their synthesis is the Grignard reaction of 2-(1,3-dioxan-2-yl)ethylmagnesium bromide (9d) with benzoyl chlorides yielding γ-phenyl-γ-ketoaldehydes 24, and the Paal-Knorr cyclisation of the latter. - Key Words: Alteromonas luteo-violaceus / Bromopyrrole / Marine bacteria / Pentabromopseudiline
