Azaelliptitoxin, an antineoplasic compound, has been rationally designed in silico from ellipticine and etoposide structures. The presence of the 2- and 3-indolylmethanamino scaffolds in the structure of the biologically active 11-amino derivatives has led us to develop two stereoselective syntheses of those compounds based on the nucleophilic addition of indoles onto alpha-chiral nitrones, developed in the laboratory. The first strategy has required the enantioselective synthesis of a new serinal, precursor of the desired nitrone, in which the beta-aminoalcool moiety is protected as an oxazolidinone ring. The nucleophilic addition of indole onto this alpha-chiral nitrone in acidic conditions has afforded the formation of two diastereoisome...
