Reaction Steps

In The Journal of Antibiotics, 1985, 38, 746, D. G. Martin et al reported that acetic acid adds across the spirocyclopropylcyclohexadienyl (SCPCH) system of CC-1065 to produce the phenolic, acetic acid product (AAP), 7-[[7-[[1-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-1,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-8-methylbenzo[1,2-b:4,3-b']dipyrrol-3(2H)-yl]carbonyl]-1,6-dihydro-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzo[1,2-b:4,3-b']-dipyrrol-3(2H)-yl]carbonyl]-1,6-dihydro-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzo[1,2-b:4,3-b']dipyrrole-3(2H)-carboxamide. AAP was tested in vitro and in vivo and found to be less potent than CC-1065 by a factor of 103 to 104 depending upon the particular test system and therefore tended to divert attention from adducts of the SCPCH system as useful antitumor agents or as prodrugs to CC-1065 analogs.
