The total synthesis of racemic γ‐indomycinone ( rac ‐ 3 ) was achieved by Baker–Venkataraman rearrangement of ester 11 to the diketone 12 , acid‐catalyzed cyclization to the anthrapyranone 13 , followed by methyl ether cleavage and acetylation to 16 , selective bromination of the branched side chain with simultaneous S N 1‐type hydroxy substitution to 23 and transesterification to rac ‐ 3 . The corresponding γ‐indomycinone 11‐methyl ether ( rac ‐ 20 ) was prepared in a similar reaction sequence.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
