- Selective Methylation of Amides, N-Heterocycles, Thiols, and Alcohols with Tetramethylammonium Fluoride
-
We herein disclose the use of tetramethylammonium fluoride (TMAF) as a direct and selective methylating agent of a variety of amides, indoles, pyrroles, imidazoles, alcohols, and thiols. The method is characterized by operational simplicity, wide scope, and ease of purification. Our computational studies suggest a concerted methylation-deprotonation as the preferred reaction pathway.

- Sequential One-Pot Vilsmeier-Haack and Organocatalyzed Mannich Cyclizations to Functionalized Benzoindolizidines and Benzoquinolizidines
-
The development of new one-pot sequential cyclizations involving a Vilsmeier-Haack reaction followed by an organocatalyzed Mannich reaction is reported. This synthetic strategy gives access to functionalized indolizidines and quinolizidines in one operation from readily synthesized precursors. Yields and diastereoselectivities are good to excellent when formamides are used to trigger the key step, bearing either an electron-rich aryl or a pyrrole as the nucleophilic partner in the first cyclization.

- Selective construction of alkaloid scaffolds by alcohol-based direct and mild aerobic oxidative Pictet-Spengler reactions
-
Employing TBN/TEMPO as the catalysts and oxygen as the oxidant, the biologically and pharmaceutically significant tetrahydro-β-carboline and β-carboline alkaloid scaffolds that used to be obtained by multi-step processes can now be selectively obtained in only one-stepviadirect aerobic oxidative Pictet-Spengler reactions of tryptamines with alcohols under mild conditions, with water generated as the byproduct. In this reaction, TBN/TEMPO was interestingly found to be able to facilitate the cyclization step of the whole reaction. This method tolerates a variety ofC- andN-substituted tryptamines, and both the more reactive benzylic and allylic alcohols and the less reactive aliphatic alcohols. This method can also be extended to dihydro-β-carboline synthesis and applied to the more available and more economical tryptophan for β-carboline synthesis, revealing its broad substrate scope and potential in synthetic applications.

- Tryptamine Synthesis by Iron Porphyrin Catalyzed C?H Functionalization of Indoles with Diazoacetonitrile
-
The functionalization of C?H bonds with non-precious metal catalysts is an important research area for the development of efficient and sustainable processes. Herein, we describe the development of iron porphyrin catalyzed reactions of diazoacetonitrile with N-heterocycles yielding important precursors of tryptamines, along with experimental mechanistic studies and proof-of-concept studies of an enzymatic process with YfeX enzyme. By using readily available FeTPPCl, we achieved the highly efficient C?H functionalization of indole and indazole heterocycles. These transformations feature mild reaction conditions, excellent yields with broad functional group tolerance, can be conducted on gram scale, and thus provide a unique streamlined access to tryptamines.

- Tryptamine derivatives disarm colistin resistance in polymyxin-resistant gram-negative bacteria
-
The last three decades have seen a dwindling number of novel antibiotic classes approved for clinical use and a concurrent increase in levels of antibiotic resistance, necessitating alternative methods to combat the rise of multi-drug resistant bacteria. A promising strategy employs antibiotic adjuvants, non-toxic molecules that disarm antibiotic resistance. When co-dosed with antibiotics, these compounds restore antibiotic efficacy in drug-resistant strains. Herein we identify derivatives of tryptamine, a ubiquitous biochemical scaffold containing an indole ring system, capable of disarming colistin resistance in the Gram-negative bacterial pathogens Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli while having no inherent bacterial toxicity. Resistance was overcome in strains carrying endogenous chromosomally-encoded colistin resistance machinery, as well as resistance conferred by the mobile colistin resistance-1 (mcr-1) plasmid-borne gene. These compounds restore a colistin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) below the Clinical & Laboratory Sciences Institute (CLSI) breakpoint in all resistant strains.

- Br?nsted Acid-Catalyzed Tandem Cyclizations of Tryptamine-Ynamides Yielding 1H-Pyrrolo[2,3-d]carbazole Derivatives
-
Ynamides, as versatile synthetic precursors, have attracted much attention from synthetic chemists and sparked the development of a number of methodologies for the construction of various structures. 1H-Pyrrolo[2,3-d]carbazole is a core scaffold of a series of monoterpene indole alkaloids found in Kopsia, Strychnos, and Aspidosperma, for example. In this study, 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]carbazole derivatives were synthesized by a Br?nsted acid-catalyzed tandem cyclization starting from tryptamine-based ynamides. This strategy prevented Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement by instantaneous intramolecular nucleophilic trapping of the indoleninium to afford a tetracyclic indoline via an in situ-formed enol species induced by the formation of a more stable conjugate diene moiety. The functional group tolerances were investigated by using a series of readily available substrates. A plausible mechanism has been proposed based on the evidence of the capture of the hemiaminal intermediate. Lastly, a Büchi ketone, which is the pivotal intermediate in the synthesis of the indole alkaloid vindorosine, was synthesized by utilizing our newly developed methodology.

- Combined Approach of Backbone Amide Linking and On-Resin N-Methylation for the Synthesis of Bioactive and Metabolically Stable Peptides
-
Rhabdopeptides are a large class of nonribosomal peptides from the bacteria Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus with low micromolar activity against different protozoa, which are the causative agents of several tropical diseases. The development of a facile and flexible synthesis combining backbone amide linking with on-resin peralkylation for the synthesis of permethylated rhabdopeptides is described. This strategy allows the fast generation of permethylated naturally occurring and artificial rhabdopeptides for a structure-activity study. Furthermore, in vitro experiments revealed their superior properties regarding their stability and passive membrane diffusion.

- Ynesulfonamide-Based Silica Gel and Alumina-Mediated Diastereoselective Cascade Cyclizations to Spiro[indoline-3,3′-pyrrolidin]-2-ones under Neat Conditions
-
The spiro[indoline-3,3′-pyrrolidin]-2-ones were synthesized via a silica gel and alumina-mediated sequential transformation based on tryptamine-derived ynesulfonamide substrates under neat conditions. The inherent tendency of C?C bond migration through Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement in the synthesis of spirooxindole was prevented by water trapping to the spiroindoleninium intermediate. The functional group tolerances of the methodology were investigated using a variety of substrates. The detailed mechanism of the sequential transformation was probed by the isotope-labeled experiments. This strategy was further applied in the formal syntheses of indole alkaloids coerulescine and horsfiline. (Figure presented.).

A screen of 20 compounds identified small molecule adjuvants capable of potentiating antibiotic activity against Francisella philomiragia. Analogue synthesis of an initial hit compound led to the discovery of a potentially new class of small molecule adjuvants containing an indole core. The lead compound was able to lower the MIC of colistin by 32-fold against intrinsically resistant F. philomiragia.

- N-methylation of aromatic amines and N-heterocycles under acidic conditions with the TTT (1,3,5-trioxane-triethylsilane-trifluoroacetic acid) system
-
A novel reductive N-methylation protocol under acidic conditions with the TTT (1,3,5-trioxane-triethylsilane-trifluoroacetic acid) system is disclosed. This method is highly specific for aromatic amines and several N-heterocycles (indoles and annulated analogues, phenoxazine, phenothiazine), insensitive to steric hindrance, and compatible with a wide range of functional groups. Further the N-methylation step can be combined with an in situ N-Boc deprotection. Compounds in which the nucleophilicity of the NH group is eliminated by protonation under the reaction conditions (aliphatic amines, azaarenes of noteworthy basicity) are inert. In several examples, it was demonstrated that the TTT system is complementary to other N-methylation protocols.

- Access to Spirocyclized Oxindoles and Indolenines via Palladium-Catalyzed Cascade Reactions of Propargyl Carbonates with 2-Oxotryptamines and Tryptamines
-
(Chemical Equation Presented). Reported here are methods for the direct construction of a range of spirocyclized oxindoles and indolenines in good to excellent yields. Specifically, we report the palladium-catalyzed reactions of oxindoles and indoles, both functioning as bis-nucleophiles, with propargyl carbonates to afford spirocyclic products having an exocyclic double bond on the newly formed ring. The reaction proceeds through a process wherein the first nucleophilic unit on the oxindole or indole reacts with an allenyl-palladium species, formed from oxidative addition of Pd(0) to propargyl carbonates, to generate a π-allyl palladium intermediate that then reacts further with the second nucleophilic component of the oxindole or indole. The cascade process forges two bonds en route to spirocyclized oxindole and indolenine products. The use of chiral phosphines renders the cyclization sequence enantioselective, providing spirocyclic products with modest to good enantioselectivities.

- Asymmetric dearomatization of indoles through a Michael/Friedel-Crafts-Type cascade to construct polycyclic spiroindolines
-
A highly efficient asymmetric dearomatization of indoles was realized through a cascade reaction between 2-isocyanoethylindole and alkylidene malonates catalyzed by a chiral N,N-dioxide/MgII catalyst. Fused polycyclic indolines containing three stereocenters were afforded in good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities through a Michael/Friedel-Crafts/Mannich cascade. When 2-substituted 2-isocyanoethylindoles were used, spiroindoline derivatives were obtained through a Michael/Friedel-Crafts reaction.

A new, straightforward synthesis of highly functional -carboline building blocks is presented that makes use of allylic amidation methodology. The products obtained carry a terminal double bond as well as an easy-to-deprotect amide, which make them perfectly suitable for further functionalization. The use of the trifluoroacetamide group is exploited in a dual fashion; it acts as a protecting group and functions as the nucleophile for the allylic amidation reaction.

New synthetic methods for the construction of novel heterocycles and tryptamines are described. Thus, N-Boc anilines (I) are sequentially converted to heterocycles II ((3-(2-aminophenyl)pyrrolidin-3-ol) derivatives),III (substituted 2-oxo-1,2-dihydrospirobenzo[d][1,3]oxazine-4,3'-pyrrol idines), and VI (2-(4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)aniline) derivatives through a route involving t-BuLi induced ortho-metalation/ LaCl3 2LiCl metalexchange, reaction with N-Boc pyrrolidin-3-one (5), and subsequent deca rboxylative fragmentation.
