Abstract

2-methylcamalexin, a novel derivative of the phytoalexin Camalexin, was synthesized for the first time, using a convenient two-step approach. The approach realizes coupling of two aromatic heterocyclic moieties (2-methylindole and thiazole) by sequential α-amidoalkylation/oxidative re-aromatization. The target product was obtained in a cost-effective manner, with 88% yield over two steps. The structure of the synthesized product was unequivocally determined on the basis of NMR, HRMS and FTIR spectral measurments.
