Synthesis of Dissymmetric Indolocarbazole Glycosides Using the Mitsunobu Reaction at the Glycosylation Step.

Abstract A novel method for the synthesis of N-glycosylated dissymmetric indolo[2,3-a]pyrrolo-[3,4-c]carbazole derivatives was developed by applying the Mitsunobu reaction to the N-glycosylation reaction of substituted indole substrates. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
