[formula: see text] A short synthesis of saframycin A is described which begins with a readily available intermediate previously utilized for the total synthesis of ecteinascidin 743. A key step in this synthesis is the use of 1-fluoro-3,5-dichloropyridinium triflate to oxidize a phenolic ring to a 1,4-benzoquinone unit while simultaneously cleaving a methoxymethyl ether of a different phenolic ring to the corresponding phenol (4-->5). The common intermediate (2) for the synthesis of saframycin A (1) and ecteinascidin 743 also allowed the synthesis of two hybrids of these structures (6 and 7). Whole cell bioassays for antitumor activity using lung, colon, melanoma, and prostate-derived tumor cell lines allowed a clear correlation of structure with biological activity in this series.
