The addition of .alpha.-ketoacyl chlorides to indolenine-2-carboxamides, followed by spontaneous, diastereoselective ring closure to 3,6-disubstituted dioxopiperazines, provides an efficient, new synthesis of gliotoxin analogues. One compound was converted into the mercaptoalkene by treatment with H2S. Regiospecific and diastereoselective addition of H2S to the exo methylene group gave cis dithiol. This Zn ion catalyzed reaction is believed to proceed via the chelate intermediate. Several oxidation procedures were studied for the conversion of the cis dithiol into disulfide. The tri- and tetrasulfides were obtained from the cis dithiol by reaction with SCl2 and S2Cl2, respectively; the monosulfide was obtained from the disulfide by treatment with (C6H5)3P. Analogies between this synthesis and what is known about the biosynthesis of gliotoxin are discussed. The disulfide thus obtained (81% overall yield) inhibited the enzyme reverse transcriptase [Rauscher leukemia virus]; its activity is comparable to that of gliotoxin.
