Abstract
Isopentabromopseudilin (4) and the analogous compounds 12g, 12h have been synthesized by base-catalyzed cyclization of substituted benzaldehydes with isocyanoacetic acid methyl ester (6). In contrast to the highly antibiotic and cytotoxic active natural product 1, compounds 4, 12g and 12h have been shown to be inactive.
