Org Lett. 2006 Feb 16;8(4):561-4. doi: 10.1021/ol052600e.

Abstract

[structure: see text] A high-yielding totally regioselective intramolecular homolytic acylation of a quinoline ring constitutes the key step in a new synthesis of the pentacyclic indolo[3,2-j]phenanthridine alkaloid calothrixin B.
