Abstract
The kigamicins are polycyclic aromatic natural products featuring a tetrahydroxanthone and up to four sugar residues. They are toxic to human cancer cells under nutrient-poor conditions. A synthesis of the natural product skeleton has been achieved from chiral pool materials. Key steps include a regioselective hydration of a diarylalkyne and two oxidative cyclizations.
The synthetic synthesis of kigamicins, a group of polycyclic aromatic natural products, shows potential for developing effective cancer treatments under nutrient-poor conditions.
