Methoxatin as a Target in Total Synthesis

Abstract

Methoxatin is a redox co-factor with a unique structure featuring a central 1,2-benzoquinone, annulated to an electron-poor pyridine and an electron-poor pyrrole ring. This exceptional molecular structure leads to the unusual biological function of methoxatin, which therefore plays a significant role in metabolism. Hence, many total syntheses providing access to this remarkable natural product were published soon after the structure was elucidated.
