Divergent Total Syntheses of Pyrroloiminoquinone Alkaloids Ena-bled by the Development of a Larock/Buchwald–Hartwig Annula-tion/Cyclization

Herein, we report a novel approach to pyrroloiminoquinones which was enabled by the development of a Larock/Buchwald–Hartwig annulation/cyclization cascade to rapidly construct the core, which was further elaborated to 5 of these natural products.
