ChemInform Abstract: Reactions of Pyrano(3,4-b)indol-3-ones with Dienophiles: Consecutive (4 + 2) Cycloaddition/Cycloreversion/1,2 Elimination.
Methylpyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones 1 react with selected dienophiles (as acetylene equivalents) in a consecutive Diels-Alder/cycloreversion/1,2 elimination reaction sequence to furnish the 1-methyl- and 1,4-dimethylcarbazoles 4.
The mechanism of formation of 3H,9H-Pyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones from 3-indolalkanoic acids
The mechanism of the formation of 1-methyl-3H,9H-pyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-one (4) from the corresponding 3-indolacetic acid 1 is discussed. The suggested mechanism is substantiated by the isolation of a stable intermediate 2 and its transformations in the presence of acetic anhydride and/or Lewis acids.
New potential DNA intercalators of the carbazole series from indole-2,3-quinodimethanes: Synthesis, crystal structure, and molecular modeling with a watson-crick mini-helix
1-Alkylpyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones3 react via a Diels-Alder step with an aryne or N-phenylmaleimide to furnish the new [b]annellated carbazoles4–10 in a one-pot process. In an analogous procedure, the in situ generated N-benzoylindole-2,3-quinodimethane (13) reacted with quinones to furnish the dioxocarbazoles14–16. Compounds4–8 and14–16 with a coplanar skeleton are members of a class of potential DNA intercalators, as has been shown for5 and8 by X-ray structural analysis. On the basis of the geometries determined by X-ray crystallography, the intercalative binding of these molecules with a Watson-Crick mini-helix was predicted by molecular modeling methods.
First transformations of pyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones to salvadoricine and 2,3-diacylindoles
The readily available methylated pyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones 1a and 1b were hydrolyzed to furnish the 2-acetylindol-3-alkanoic acids 2 and 4. Compound 2 was easily transformed selectively to 2-acetyl-3-methylindole (3, salvadoricine). Substrate 1b reacts with molecular oxygen from the air only in the presence of a catalyst to give 2,3-diacetylindole (5) while 1a reacts with nitrosobenzene via a proposed Diels-Alder step to yield 2-acetylindole-3-carbaldehyde (6). The latter product can also be obtained in low yield from the reaction of 1a with molecular oxygen from the air.
Diels-Alder reactions of 1-phenylpyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones with alkynes: New functionalized carbazoles
3-Indolylalkanoic acids 2 react with benzoic acid anhydride under catalysis of Et2O - ZnCl2 and mild conditions to furnish the 1-phenyl-substituted pyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones 1c, 1d, and 3a, 3b. Products 1c, 1d, and 3b may be converted into the novel functionalized carbazoles 4 and 5 by reaction with acceptor-substituted alkynes.

Neue Diels-Alder-Reaktionen von 1-Methylpyrano[3,4-b]indol-3(9H)-on mit cyclischen CC-Dienophilen: ein einfacher Zugang zu [b]anellierten Carbazol-Derivaten
1-Methylpyrano[3,4-b]indol-3(9H)-on (1) reagiert als synthetisches Aquivalent von Indolo-2,3-chinodimethan mit Arin, p-Benzochinon und p-Naphthochinon zu neuen [b]anellierten Carbazol-Derivaten. Durch das Reaktionsmedium bedingt lassen sich bei der Cycloaddition von 1 mit Arin zugleich auch mononitrierte Carbazole isolieren.
