The total synthesis of prodigiosin (1), a red pigment first isolated from Serratia marcescens, possessing the chracteristic pyrrolylpyrromethene skeleton of a class of occurring polypyrroles exhibiting antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties, is detailed. The approach is based on the application of an inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate in a 1,2,4,5-tetrazine .fwdarw. 1,2-diazine .fwdarw. pyrrole strategy for preparation of prodigiosin pyrrole ring B and the subsequent implementation of an effective intramolecular palladium(II)-promoted 2,2''-diaryl coupling for construction of the prodigiosin 2,2''-bipyrrole AB ring system. In situ generated activated ester derivatives of pyrrole-1-carboxylic acid or the use of pyrrole-1-carboxylic acid anhydride proved suitable for the generation of mixed 1,1''-carboxnylpyrrole compounds for use in the palladium(II)-promoted mixed, 2,2''-bypyrrole coupling. Extensions of this approach to the preparation of the naturally occurring parent pyrrolylpyrromethene, prodigiosene (2a), and 2-methyl-3-pentylprodigiosene (2e, desmethoxyprodigiosin) are detailed. A comparison of the in vitro cytotoxic properties of prodigiosin (1), prodigiosene (2a), and 2-methyl-3-pentylprodigiosene (2e) are reported and reveal exceptional cytotoxic potency (3.7 .times. 10-4 .mu.g/mL = 3.7 .times. 10-10 g/mL) for prodigiosin against 9PS (P388) mouse leukemia which may be attributed to the presence of the prodigiosin C-6 methoxy substituent.
