Mitragynine (MG) is the most abundant alkaloid component of psychoactive plant material "kratom", which according to numerous anecdotal reports shows efficacy in self-medication for pain syndromes, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. We have developed a synthetic method selective functionalization unexplored C11 position MG scaffold (C6 indole numbering) via an indole-ethylene glycol adduct subsequent iridium-catalyzed borylation. Through this work we discover that represents...
