A short synthesis of prodigiosin analogues

Abstract
A convenient synthetic route to three-ring systems (11) and (12) related to those found in prodigiosin antibiotics is described: the X-ray crystal structure of (12) shows that the exocyclic double bond has a Z-configuration, which allows hydrogen bonding between the methoxy group and the pyrrole NH of ring C.
