Enantioselective Friedel-Crafts Alkylation of Indoles with (E)-1-Aryl-4-benzyloxybut-2-en-1-ones Catalyzed by an (R)-3,3′-Br2BINOLate-Hafnium(IV) Com…

2013

A highly enantioselective Friedel–Crafts reaction of unprotected indoles with (E)-1-aryl-4-benzyloxybut-2-en-1-ones catalyzed by a new chiral [Hf{(R)-3,3′-Br2-BINOL}(OtBu)2]2 complex has been developed to functionalize the C-3 position of the indole nucleus with a side chain bearing a 1,4-difunctionalized moiety and a benzylic stereogenic center. The reaction proceeds in good to excellent yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97 % ee). The usefulness of this approach was illustrated with the synthesis of a tryptophol derivative.

Catalytic Asymmetric Friedel–Crafts Alkylations in Total Synthesis

The fischer indole synthesis of 8-methyl-5-substituted-1-oxo-β-carbolines: A remarkable high yield of a [1,2]-methyl migration.

1991

Abstract A very unusual high yield of rearranged products (via methyl migration) has been obtained in the Fischer indole cyclization of the 3-(2,5-dimethyl phenylhydrazone) of 2,3-piperidine dione (6b). When a less activated aromatic ring is present in the phenylhydrazone 6, such a behaviour is not observed and cyclization occurs essentially without rearrangement.

Photochemical electrocyclisation of 3-vinylindoles to pyrido[2,3-a]-, pyrido[4,3-a]- and thieno[2,3-a]-carbazoles: Design, synthesis, DNA binding and…

2009

In the context of the design and synthesis of DNA ligands, some new hetarene annelated carbazoles were synthesized. As lead structure the intercalating tetracyclic systems pyrido[2,3-a]- and pyrido[4,3-a]-carbazoles and in one case a thieno[2,3-a]-carbazole were taken into account. A dialkyl amino amidic chain was introduced to the planar chromophoric system with the intent to generate minor groove binding properties. The cytotoxicity of some compounds was examined by the NCI antitumor screening. Furthermore, biophysical as well as biochemical studies were performed in order to get some information about the DNA-binding properties and inhibition of DNA related functional enzymes of this new…

SYNTHESIS AND PHOTOCHEMIOTHERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF THIOPYRANO[2,3-E]INDOL-2-ONES

2004

A series of derivatives of the new ring system thiopyrano[2,3-e]indol-2-one was prepared with the aim of obtaining new photochemotherapeutic drugs. Biological screenings were performed on this new class of photoactivable drugs and a strong antiproliferative effect was observed upon irradiation with UVA light. The compound bearing a methyl substituent at the pyrrole nitrogen resulted as the most interesting showing IC50 in the nanomolar range.

Chemical profiling of the synthetic cannabinoid MDMB-CHMICA: Identification, assessment, and stability study of synthesis-related impurities in seize…

2019

In this work, the most discriminating synthesis-related impurities found in samples from seizures and controlled synthesis of the synthetic cannabinoid MDMB-CHMICA (methyl (S)-2-(1-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxamido)-3,3-dimethylbutanoate) were characterized. Based on 61 available powder samples of MDMB-CHMICA, 15 key-impurities were assessed, isolated in larger quantities via flash chromatography and structurally elucidated and characterized via high resolution mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Apart from verifying the relation of the impurities to the major component, the interpretation of their chemical structures with distinct structural elements pro…

Synthesis of Functionalized Indoles with a Trifluoromethy-Substituted Stereogenic Tertiary Carbon Atom Through an Enantioselective Friedel-Crafts Alk…

2010

[EN] Chiral complexes of BINOL-based ligands with zirconium tert-butoxide catalyze the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of indoles with beta-trifluoromethyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones to give functionalized indoles with an asymmetric tertiary carbon center attached to a trifluoromethyl group. The reaction can be applied to a large number of substituted alpha-trifluoromethyl enones and substituted indoles. The expected products were obtained with good yields and ees of up to 99%.

Organocatalytic Enantioselective Friedel–Crafts Aminoalkylation of Indoles in the Carbocyclic Ring

2016

The first general catalytic method for the, so far elusive, enantioselective Friedel−Crafts functionalization of indoles in the carbocyclic ring is presented. This transformation contrasts with the usual tendency of these heterocycles to react at the azole ring. For this purpose, the four regioisomeric hydroxy carbocyclic-substituted indoles were reacted with several isatinderived ketimines, using a Cinchona alkaloid-based squaramide, in a low 0.5−5 mol % catalyst loading, as a bifunctional catalyst. This methodology allows the functionalization of indoles in every position of the carbocyclic ring in a regio- and enantioselective fashion, by switching only the position of the hydroxy group …

Total Synthesis of Phenanthroindolizidine Alkaloids by Combining Iodoaminocyclization with Free Radical Cyclization

2016

A concise and modular synthesis of phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids was achieved by combining iodoaminocylization with a free radical cyclization approach. The route described allowed the preparation of (±)-tylophorine, (±)-antofine, and (±)-deoxypergularinine in six steps. When commercially available l-prolinol was used as a chiral building block, (S)-(+)-tylophorine was also synthesized in 49% yield and >99% ee over five linear steps.
