Stable, water-soluble aminosugar staurosporine, K-252a and rebeccamycin analogs have been prepared by nucleophilic opening of C(2)-symmetric N-activated bis-aziridines by bis-indolylmaleimides. This divergent strategy allows the synthesis of unsymmetrical substituted derivatives and provides an easy access to the piperidine and pyrrolidine analogs.
